Hello Daddy

Not to be a cynic with a dark personality

But I got a story in true actyality

That happened to me one time when the sky was black

I was walking one night down a lonely street

With no one in particular expecting to meet me

When I saw a red glow from a cigarette just ahead

Well I wasn't thinking much with the buzz I had

But the closer they got I knew that something bad

Was about to do down I was as sure as the day is long

It'd beed fifteen years since I'd seen his face

And it took me right back to that nasty place

Where the beer bottles scattered around

With the shame and the fear and I said,

Hello daddy what are you doing here

How are you doing daddy I've been missing you

About as much as I can for what you put me through

Momma's looking good now too no thanks to you

I'm doing pretty good now I'm back in school

I finally got a guy that treats me pretty good

I'm trying to make plans but you know how it is

Well he didn't say a word he just kept staring

I thought, maybe my talking got the old man caring about

What he had what he left and where he is now

If I'm walking through a dream lord don't you wake me now

But as usual quite the opposite was true

He was drunk as me and probably twice as confused

He had that Mr. Hyde kook in his eye that I'll enver forget

He didn't seen to care what I'd done or learned

The only thing he was really concernet about was

Whether he could get more beer before everything closed

And as sad as I was I had to laugh out loud

Because the daughter he should've been so damn proud of

Had a little bit too much tonight af the bar

I was crazy naive por even thinking

That I'd ever come before this man's drinking

And as I watched him walk away to the corner store I thought,

Maybe I'll see you in fifteen more...
