My boss will tell you that Ive been to work all week on time That I aint had no liquor on my breathe Aint no kinda secret, Ive been known to take a drink And its made me do some things that I regret Loretta said this aint no kind of way to raise a family And one night she called it quits and called a cab She left her clothes out on the clothes line And the dishes in the sink So I guess she knows that she aint coming back Well I just want to see my kids I just want to hold my girls Heaven knows I aint got much of nothing else in this ole world I just want to be around enough to know that theyve been loved I just want to be their daddy, my daddy never was Now lately shes been knowin this old boy she met in church And I cant say shes wrong for wanting more I gave him the right to tell my wife that I cant come around The night I knocked a hole in her front door And Loretta tooks my keys and she made me wait outside But she didnt call the law she called a cab And as I pulled away I saw something in her eyes So I reckon that she knows I aint so bad I just want to see my kids I just want to hold my girls Heaven knows I aint got much of nothing else in this ole world I just want to be around enough to know that theyve been loved I just want to be their daddy, my daddy never was Well my boss will tell you that Ive been to work all week on time And I aint had no liquor on my breathe
