| when I was a kid I thought my daddy was the Marlboro man |
| he would pick me up in his chevy truck to spend Friday nights with him |
| he was cool and quiet like Clint Eastwood |
| So the ride always felt awkward and the silence made me feel I was alone |
| Cause Daddy never talked to me |
| was it him or was it me? |
| if he were here I’d ask him why |
| Daddy talks more to me now than when he was alive |
| when he was a younger man he’d wake me up at four and take me fishing |
| we would sit in silence in that flat Jon boat until my skin was burning |
| When he got sick I packed up and moved |
| So that I might get to know him just a little better while we still had time |
| Cause Daddy never talked to me |
| was it him or was it me? |
| if he were here I’d ask him why |
| Daddy talks more to me now than when he was alive |
| The last time that I saw him he apologized for leaving me behind all those |
| years ago |
| And I spent my life being mad and sad, it was hard to let it go |
| Cause Daddy never talked to me |
| was it him or was it me? |
| if he were here I’d ask him why |
| Daddy talks more to me now than when he was alive |
| Daddy talks more to me now than when he was alive |
| Daddy wont you talk to me, Daddy wont you talk to me |
