Daddy And Home

I am dreaming, tonight, of an old southern town

And the best friend that I ever had

For I've grown so weary of roaming around

And I'm going home to my dad

Your hair has turned to silver and I know you're failing too

Daddy, dear, oh, daddy, I'm coming back to you

You made my childhood happy but still I longed to roam

I've had my way, but now I'll say, I long for you and for home

Dear daddy, you shared all my sorrows and joys

You tried hard to bring me up right

I know you'll still be one of the boys

I'm starting back home tonight

Your hair has turned to silver and I know you're failing too

Daddy, dear, oh, daddy, I'm coming back to you

You made my childhood happy but still I longed to roam

I've had my way, but now I'll say, I long for you and for home
