Growing up was different for you

Had a son he's bitter toward you

Daddy's gone

Not easy for you

I get that because I adore you too

And mamma's always been there for us

You and I both learned to trust

When she held us at night

Were more alike than I thought we were when I was still 18

And now I think about it

Now I think about it all the time

Every morning I get up and go to work

And I'm thinking about you

I can't wait till you can talk so you and I can get to know each other

Your mother and I are gonna move you to Chicago

So you never have to worry about the money

I've been working so hard

I know I come and go

One day you'll see that everything I did was for you and your sister

I'm on a plane to D.C. and God I miss her

Daddy didn't treat me too well

I never want her to say that

Daddy's not doing so well

I'm scared that he won't make it

I think he might go to hell

Don't know if I could take it

I'm only a man

It's alright
