I heard about, I heard about your daddy got sick   Drove down to the river to die alone   Seven days, seven days till they found him all   Wrapped up in a blanket on the boat      So we put him in the ground   Down, down, down   Your momma said, "Stay strong, don't cry"   So that is what you did      Years later, years down   Later down the road   On a bus with your FM Radio, half drunk   A cigarette hanging out      What happened to your lonely soul?   Crying out   What happened to your lonely soul?   Screaming out      You said try and lose   You said try and lose      Everything you've known   Everything you've seen   Everything you've loved   Everything you've been      And everywhere you walk   Every song you sing   Every time you wake   It haunts you once again      My daddy ain't coming home   Daddy ain't coming home   My daddy ain't coming home   Daddy ain't coming home   My daddy ain't coming home
