My sister was older so she knew what it was like
To hear you and mother argue and fight
I was two years old when you left this home
Looking outside wondering where you're gonna go?
I said
You took me by the hand you led me outside
Said I'm gonna be a man someday, yea some ladies Mr. Right
We walked around the block and I started to cry
Tears fell from my eyes, dad I need you in my life
In my life, in my life, in my life
And I cried when I saw your photograph
Cuz I thought if you died then that'd be that'd be that
Now dad I know you got a life of your own
But I want to talk can I call you on the phone?
I got a game tomorrow can you come watch me play?
I got so many thoughts I don't know what to say
I love you I miss you I wish you were hear
I know in your heart you still want to be near
I thank you for loving me but where have you gone
Oh dad oh dad to you I write this song
And I say
Momma said that you left town (left town)
Momma said you weren't coming around
Dad tell me where'd you go dad I really miss you
Momma said that you left town (left town)
Momma said you weren't coming around
Dad tell me where'd you go dad I really miss you
