Daddy's Song

Years ago, I knew a man

He was my mother's biggest fan

We used to walk beside the sea

And he told me how life would be

When I grew up to be a man (Oh!)

And years ago, we used to play

He used to laugh when I ran away

And if I fell and hurt my knee

He would run to comfort me

And the pain would go away

Years ago, I knew a boy

He was his daddy's pride and joy, pride and joy

But when the daddy went away

It was such a rainy day

That he brought out all his toys

And how the mother did explain

Trying to take away the pain

But he just couldn't understand

That his father was not a man

And it all was just a game

The years have passed and so have I

Making it hard for me to cry

And if and when I have a son

Let it all be said and done

Let the sadness pass him by

My old man is a good man

He does the best that he can

My old man is a good man

He does the best that he can

Your old man's not as good as my old man

My old man's a heck of a lot better than your old man

My old man and your old man...
