Drunken Roots

Things you hear from a small child
Some make you think, others make you smile
There are things that are hard to hear
I drop her off at her mothers and leave her there

Daddy I don’t want to play this game
Why can’t things stay the same?
Why do you have to go?
I don’t want to be here, just want to go home

I drive away with tears in my eyes
My heart is heavy for my little lonely child
It’s not like I wanted to leave
It hurts so bad I can hardly breathe

Daddy I don’t want to play this game
Why can’t things stay the same?
Why do you have to go?
I don’t want to be here, just want to go home

There’s nothing I can say, there’s nothing I can do
I have no words to comfort you
Just know that daddy loves you, if he can’t be there too

Darlin, I don’t want to play this game
I wish things could stay the same
Why do you to have to go
I want you to be here
I want you to be here
And I’ll be waiting on you to come on home
I want you to be here
I want you to be here
And I’ll be waiting on you to come on home
