My Daddy Never Was Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]My[D][C][D]
[G]boss will tell you that I've
been [D]to work all week on time
That [C]I ain't had no liquor
on [G]my breathe
Ain't no kinda' secret,
I've been [D]known to take a drink
And it's [C]made me do
some things that [Am]I regret

[Verse 2]
[D]Lorett[Am]a said this ain't no kin[D]d
of way to raise a family
And one [Am]night she called
it quits and called [D]a cab
She left her [Am]clothes out on the clothes line
And the [D]dishes in the sink
So I [C]guess she knows that she

[Verse 3]
ain't coming back
[D]Well I just wan[G]t to see my kids
I just [D]want to hold my girls
Heaven [C]knows I ain't got much
of nothing [D]else in this ole world
I just [G]want to be around enough
[D]to know that they've been loved
I just [C]want to be their daddy,
[D]my daddy never was
[G][D][C]

[Verse 4]
[D]
Now [G]lately she's been knowin'
this [D]old boy she met in church
And [C]I can't say she's wrong
for wanting [D]more
I gave [G]him the right to tell my wife
that I [D]can't come around
The [C]night I knocked a hole
in her front [D]door

[Verse 5]
And Lor[Am]etta took my keys and she
[D]made me wait outside
But she [Am]didn't call the law
she called a cab
[D]And [Am]as I pulled away I saw
[D]something in her eyes
So I [C]reckon that she knows
I ain't so [D]bad

[Verse 6]
I just [G]want to see my kids
I just [D]want to hold my girls
Heaven [C]knows I ain't got much
of nothing [D]else in this ole world
I just [G]want to be around enough
[D]to know that they've been loved
[C]I just want to be their daddy,
[D]my daddy never was
[G][D][C]

[Verse 7]
[D]
[G]Well my boss will tell you that I've
been [D]to work all week on time
And [C]I ain't had no liquor
[Am]on m[D]y breathe

[Outro 1]
[G][D][C][D]
