Lyrics

Just a baby holding momma real tight in the Moonlight, Lying in her bed I'm saying momma please don't cry Whats wrong is it daddy, will he be coming Home tonight, And she said no son He'll be gone awhile Then the days turned in To months on end And I said momma whens he coming home She said forget him son We got our own life to run You'll be starting school before long I met my teacher by my desk Like the rest of the kids on that first day Settle down now kids and listen And now yall when I call your name I want you to stand up and say Where your from and what your daddy does for A living And I remember this one kid And he stood up and said My dads a firemen, always ready And when it got to my turn I could feel my little broke heart burn She said alright now, Whats your daddy I said never ready and that was pretty much Steady He's been called the devils right hand A long gone lover Of my dear sweet mother And more then she could stand A joker and a fooler A smoker and a boozer And part time gambling man And a full time loser It's tough enough growing up Not to meantion all the breaking up grown Ups do It gives a kid only half a chance to make it Momma cried and tried her best With me but could never break through If there was a rule, I was gonna break it But it was bad at first Then the bad got worse Untill before long I was a wanted man Then the judge told me I'm letting you off easy With only ten short years my friend I shook a hand of a man that I met Two days into my ten years Knew my name I asked him how and he smiled And said I know my own son any where And dam look at you man You sure ain't changed I know it must of been hard son With your own life to run But I wanna know every minute I missed When it got to my turn I could feel my old broke heart bur He asked why are you in a place like this Well you never got me ready And you broke my heart steady Untill I was called the devils right hand I'm a long gone lover Of my childs sweet mother And more than she could stand A joker and a fooler A smoker and a boozer And part time gambling man And a full time loser I'm a full time loser
