I heard about, I heard about your daddy got sick
Drove down to the river to die alone
Seven days, seven days till they found him all
Wrapped up in a blanket on the boat
So we put him in the ground
Down, Down, Down
Your momma said "stay strong, don't cry"
So that is what you did

Years later, years down later down the road
On a bus with your FM Radio, half drunk, a cigarrette
Hangin out
What happened to your lonely soul? Crying out
What happened to your lonely soul? Screamin out
You said try and lose
You said try and lose
Everything you've known
Everything you've seen
Everything you've loved
Everything you've been
And everywhere you walk
Every Song you sing
Everytime you wake
It haunts you once again
My Daddy ain't comin home
Daddy ain't comin home
My Daddy ain't comin home
Daddy ain't comin home
My Daddy ain't comin home
