A failed marriage left the mother to care   Love is gone but the kid s are still there   A broken home has become commonplace   The look of anguish on the child s face   Gone and lost      Being there just for conception   Made a promise that was all a deception   Gone and lost      [Chorus 1:]   Deadbeat dad, support he won t pay   Deadbeat dad always staying away   Deadbeat dad in disgrace and despair   Deadbeat dad, to the kids it s not fair      Biology can only go so far   When your gone it leaves a scar   Children learn to live without   Being there is what it s all about   Gone and lost   Pay the cost      [Chorus 2:]   Deadbeat dad lost in a haze   Deadbeat dad set in his ways   Deadbeat dad, a loser at heart   Deadbeat dad won t do his part      Deadbeat dad   Deadbeat dad   Deadbeat dad   Deadbeat dad      [Chorus 1]   Deadbeat dad   Deadbeat dad   Deadbeat dad   Deadbeat dad   Deadbeat dad   Deadbeat dad   Deadbeat dad
