I remember a time when I was young and strong

With the world wide open, singing my song

But the girl I love has come and gone

And I feel old now, like I don't have long

Before my butt starts sagging and my teeth are gone

Cause my hearts been broken since she left me alone

I ain't got no interest in going on

Without her here beside me, man I don't have long

She had hair like honey, eyes of crystal blue

When I turned and saw her, right then I knew

And so I asked her if she would be my wife

She said she'd have and hold me, share my life

Until my butt starts sagging and my teeth are gone

But my hearts been broken since she left me alone

I ain't got no interest in going on

Without her here beside me, man I don't have long

I don't know what happened but over time

We drifted further and I must have went blind

Cause one day she left me, oh I'll be fine

I'll just be out here losing my mind

Until my butt starts sagging and my teeth are gone

Cause my hearts been broken since she left me alone

I ain't got no interest in going on

Without her here beside me, man I don't have long

Without her here beside me, man I don't have long

She don't call me Daddy, I've been gone far too long

She don't call me Daddy, another man hears that song

She was just a baby when I threw away my life

And gave up on a family, my daughter and my wife

I took up with a bottle and wound up on the floor

The choice I made keeps haunting me. And the devil's at my door

She don't call me Daddy, the pain it never ends

She don't call me Daddy, oh the ache, here it comes again

I left them in a parking lot when I was just sixteen

I ran away from everything, my baby and my dreams

The world just kind of swallowed me and I began to fall

They've never let her talk to me every time I've tried to call

Some days I just can't stand the pain, I picture her in school

Learning how to write her name, learning to be cool

Sometimes I've seen her smiling and my heart beats through my chest

This six-year old beauty doesn't know I exist

She don't call me Daddy, another man hears that song

She don't call me Daddy, Bartender make it strong

She don't call me Daddy, the tears fall from my chin

She'll never call me Daddy. Oh God, I have sinned

You ride a hog. You have a house.

A couple dogs and what a mouth

You make me tea. You rub my back.

Take care of me. And in the sack…

You like to drive on me baby 'till the cows come home.

Till I scream like a rooster at dawn.

Ain't a woman so fine, not a one in our time

Baby take me…take me out of my mind.

You make me laugh. You tell me things.

And in the bath, you make me sing.

What a walk. What a blast.

When we talk you grab my ass.

You like to drive on me baby 'till the cows come home.

Till I scream like a rooster at dawn.

Ain't a woman so fine, not a one in our time

Baby take me…take me out of my mind

(Instrumental)

You ride a hog. You have a house.

A couple dogs and what a mouth

You make me tea. You rub my back.

Take care of me. And in the sack…

You like to drive on me baby 'till the cows come home.

Till I scream like a rooster at dawn.

Ain't a woman so fine, not a one in our time

Baby take me…take me out of my mind.

Just behind the stage lights, I await my cue

My thoughts begin to drift back to a time when I didn't have you

I would always dream, that I would find a queen

We would build a castle, and she would wear my ring

Up there on the stage tonight I have them in my hand

Everybody's swaying to the rhythm of the band

I wouldn't be here without you; you're everything to me

It wasn't always easy, but we found a way to be

I feel the peace we have whenever I'm away

My heart is always next to you it will never stray

And know I'm with you, every single day

Cause I love you, and I miss you, and I cling to you

Always, always, always

Wasted from the road, weary from the flight

In the open doorway, I see the candlelight

She motions me to silence, as the baby feeds

She reaches up to kiss me, and the smell of her is sweet

Just behind the stage lights I await my cue

My thoughts begin to drift back to the life I have with you

I've realized my dream I have found my queen

We have built a castle and you wear my ring

And I feel the peace we have whenever I'm away

My heart is always next to you it will never stray

And know I'm with you, every single day

Cause I love you, and I miss you, and I cling to you

Always, always, always
