Daddys Gone — текст песни (Jennifer Brown)

She was only 16, didnt know the first thing about life

Just tryin to do right & just doin her momma wrong

And her daddy walked out, he was talked out, no more hangin about

Tryin to keep his happy face on, guess papa aint that strong





And he left his little girl in the middle of the night

She was calling out his name after hearing them fight





Daddys gone, daddys gone movin on

Leavin momma at home he found another woman

Now hes gone

Daddys gone leaving a legacy of love gone wrong





When she turned 21, she found the big city life

And the neon lights and drinkin it up til dawn

Met her boyfriend bill, who couldnt sit still, put her on the pill

And still she would wake up alone, who can run away from home

Said, "im not your old man who aint doin you right. your...





Daddys gone, daddys gone movin on

Leavin momma at home he found another woman

Now hes gone

Daddys gone leaving a legacy of love gone wrong





At the age of 65, she was the single mother of nine

Every now and then she would praise her momma to the lord ]

And with tears in her eyes, shed remember that night after hearing them fight

She would never trust a man, no, never again





With the graying in her hair and the wisdom of age

She would try to forgive the man no one could save

No one could save her
