My Daddy Never Was written by Tony Lane 11/10/05 The second line of the second verse ends differently than the second line of the first verse. CAPO IV INTRO: G Bm C D G Bm My boss'll tell you that I've been to work all week on time C G And I ain't had no liquor on my breath G Bm Ain't no kind of secret I've been known to take a drink C D And it's made me do some things that I regret C G Loretta said this ain't no kind of way to raise a family C D And one night she called it quits and called a cab C G She left the clothes out on the clothes line and the dishes in the sink C D So I guess she knows that she ain't comin' back CHORUS: G Bm But I just wanna see my kids, I just wanna hold my girls C D Heaven knows I ain't got much of nothin' else in this whole world G Bm I just wanna be around enough to know that they've been loved C D G I just wanna be the daddy my daddy never was INTRO G Bm Now lately she's been knowing this ol' boy she met in church C D And I can't say she's wrong for wantin' more G Bm I gave him the right to tell my wife that I can't come around C D The night I knocked a hole in her front door C G And Loretta took my keys and she made me wait outside C D But she didn't call the law she called a cab C G And as I pulled away I saw somethin' in her eyes C D So I reckon that she knows I ain't so bad CHORUS INTRO G Bm My boss'll tell you that I've been to work all week on time C D (let ring) And I ain't had no liquor on my breath OUTRO: G Bm C D G
