lyrics

POLICE SIREN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT
HEARD MAMA CRYIN’ KNEW SOMETHING WASN’T RIGHT
YOU SEE DADDY WAS A HANDFUL HE LIKED TO ROAM
TOOK TO WOMEN AND LIQUOR BUT HE ALWAYS COME BACK HOME
NO HE COULDN’T HOLD A JOB BUT HE ALWAYS HAD A PLAN
TALK THE LEG OFF A CHAIR LORD HE WAS A SCHEMING MAN

BUT UNDER THE FRONT SEAT WAS A GUN
SAID IT WASN’T LOADED BUT IT SCARED EVERYONE
ONCE IN A WHILE HE’D WAVE IT AROUND
A FEW DRINKS
THEN SHOTS RANG OUT

I HEARD HE KILLED A MAN ROUND JERICHO WAY
OVER A LITTLE BIT OF NUTHIN’ THAT HE DIDN’T WANT TO PAY
LAST TIME THE SHERRIF TOOK HIM AWAY HE WAS GONE
2 YEARS 6 MONTHS 3 WEEKS AND A DAY

BUT UNDER THE FRONT SEAT WAS A GUN
SAID IT WASN’T LOADED BUT IT SCARED EVERYONE
ONCE IN A WHILE HE’D WAVE IT AROUND
A FEW DRINKS
THEN SHOTS RANG OUT

MY DADDY
MY DADDY

SO I TAKE MAMA’S HAND SHE’S PALE AS A GHOST
SHE SAYS YOUR DADDY’S BEEN SHOT
HE’S DEAD AND HE AIN’T COMING HOME
THE STAIN ON THE GROUND SHOWED THE WAY THAT HE BLED
COWARD UP LIKE A BABY WITH HIS ARMS STRAIGHT OVER HIS HEAD

BUT UNDER THE FRONT SEAT WAS A GUN
SAID IT WASN’T LOADED BUT IT SCARED EVERYONE
ONCE IN A WHILE HE’D WAVE IT AROUND
A FEW DRINKS
THEN SHOTS RANG OUT
MY DADDY AIN’T COMING HOME
MY DADDY AIN’T COMING HOME
MY DADDY AIN’T COMING HOME
