Heard about, heard about your Daddy
Got sick, drove down to the river to die alone
Seven days, seven days, 'til they found him
All wrapped up in a blanket on the boat
So put him in the ground
Down, down, down
Your Momma said 'stay strong, don't cry'
That is what you did
Years later, years down later, down the road
On the bus with your FM radio
Half drunk, cigarette hanging down
What happened to your lonely soul
Cryin' out
Happened to your lonely soul
Screamin' out
You say 'try and lose'
You say 'try and lose'
But everything you know
Everything you've seen
Everything you loved
Everything you've been
And everywhere you walk
Every song you sing
Every time you wake
It haunts you once again
Daddy ain't comin' home
No, no
Daddy ain't comin' home
No, no
Daddy ain't comin' home
No, no, no
Daddy ain't comin' home
No, no
Daddy ain't comin' home
