Mama called about the paper turns out they wrote about me
Now my broken heart´s the only thing that's broke about me
So many people should have seen what we got going on
I only wanna put my heart and my life in songs
Writing about the pain I felt with my daddy gone
About the emptiness I felt when I sat alone
About the happiness i feel when I sing it loud
He should have heard the noise we made with the happy crowd
Did my grandaddy know he taught me what a poem was
How you can use a sentence or just a simple pause
What will I say when my kids ask me who my daddy was
I thought about it for a while and I'm at a loss
Knowing that I´m gonna live my whole life without him
I found out a lot of things I never knew about him
All I know is that I´ll never really be alone
Cause we gotta lot of love and a happy home
Magazines are writing stuff but I don´t ever read them
Some of the folks I used to know would see and start believing
That I would pass them by on streets and never reach to greet them
I still remember folks even though I rarely meet them
Don´t you know I miss the times when we used to hang
Before twenty deep depended on a single man
Before a single heart was broken by a single blow
Before all our careers depended on a single show
I grew up with a lot of love in a happy home
Now I got a lot of cash and I'm on a road
I realize privacy´s becoming difficult
It´s all right now but what about when I´m old
I know my good friends now they´ll last
The same ones that stood by me when my daddy past
All I know is that we´ll never really be alone
Cause we got a lot of love and a happy home
