Kenny Rogers - I Don't Call Him Daddy Lyrics
It was six in the morningWhen I made the county lineThere's someone I got to talk toI can't get it off my mind.He's just a kidAnd he's in a pretty rough spotTwo dimes to make a phone callThat's about all I've got.How's my boy today?I know it's been three weeksBut you know how far I've got to goTo make those loose ends meet.How's your mama nowWith her new live-in friendOh, how I hate the woundsThat never seem to mend.Chorus:And he says I don't call him daddyBut he takes care of thingsWhen you pick me up on FridayAre you gonna bring me anything?Oh, don't worry dad, ya knowIt don't matter what we doI don't call him daddyHe could never be like youNever be like you.God bless their little heartsThey're the ones who really payWhen mom and dad can't get alongAnd go their seperate ways.In a way I'm glad there's someoneThere to fill the empty placeTears of understandingStreak down a dirty face.Chorus:And he says I don't call him daddyBut he takes care of thingsWhen you pick me up on FridayAre you gonna bring me anything?Oh, don't worry dad, ya knowIt don't matter what we doI don't call him daddyHe could never be like youNever be like you.He is quite a little manGrowing up as fast as he canAnd I don't get to see himHalf as much as I had planned.There's so much I need to tell himSo precious little timeA little rain on the windowIn a little way goodbye.Chorus:And he says I don't call him daddyBut he takes care of thingsWhen you pick me up on FridayAre you gonna bring me anything?Oh, don't worry dad, ya knowIt don't matter what we doI don't call him daddyHe could never be like youNever be like you.Chorus:And he says I don't call him daddyBut he takes care of thingsWhen you pick me up on FridayAre you gonna bring me anything?Oh, don't worry dad, ya knowIt don't matter what we doI don't call him daddyHe could never be like youNever be like you...
