Heard about
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 put him in the ground
Down down down
Your mama says stay strong
Don't cry
That is what you did
Years later
Years down later down the road
On the bus with your FM radio
Half drunk cigarette hanging there
What happened to your lonely soul
Crying out
Happened to your lonely soul
Screaming out
You said try and lose
You said try and lose
Everything you know
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
No no
Daddy ain't coming home
No no
My daddy ain't coming home
No no no
My daddy ain't coming home
No no
My daddy ain't coming home
