| 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 that happy crowd
|
| Did my granddaddy 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 the road
|
| I realize privacy’s becoming difficult
|
| It’s alright 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 passed
|
| All I know is that we’ll never really be alone
|
| 'Cause we got a lot of love and a happy home
|
| I write a lot of songs, will anybody ever read them?
|
| You hear them on the radio, but will you really read them?
|
| Why do we have our idols and why do we wanna be them?
|
| After we see them on TV we really wanna meet them
|
| Don’t you think they miss the times when they used to hang?
|
| Before a fan base depended on a single man
|
| Before a single heart was broken by a single show
|
| Who’s gonna stand, who’s gonna fall, I really wanna know
|
| I grew up with a lot of love in a happy home
|
| My daddy used to play me vinyl but now daddy’s gone
|
| I used to practice with my mommy on the piano
|
| I still get nervous every time I know she’s at a show
|
| Now my family comes first before everyone
|
| I had the perfect dad, I wanna be the perfect son
|
| Though I really feel sometimes I am on my own
|
| I know I got a lot of love and a happy home |
