I don`t call him daddy — текст песни (Kenny Rogers)

It was six in the morning
When I made the county line
There`s someone I got to talk to
I can`t get it off my mind

He`s just a kid
And he`s in a pretty rough spot
Two dimes to make a phone call
That`s about all I`ve got

How`s my boy today?
I know it`s been three weeks
But you know how far I`ve got to go
To make those loose ends meet

How`s your mama now
With her new live-in friend
Oh how I hate the wounds
That never seem to mend

Chorus
And he says I don`t call him daddy
but he takes care of things
When you pick me up on Friday
Are you gonna bring me anything?
Oh don`t worry dad ya know
It don`t matter what we do
I don`t call him daddy
He could never be like you
Never be like you

God bless their little hearts
They`re the ones who really pay
When mom and dad can`t get along
And go their seperate ways
In a way I`m glad there`s someone
There to fill the empty place
Tears of understanding
Streak down a dirty face

Chorus

He is quite a little man
Growing up as fast as he can
And I don`t get to see him
Half as much as I had planned
There`s so much I need to tell him
So precious little time
A little rain on the window
In a little way goodbye

Chorus 2X
