Randy Travis - My daddy never was

My ^Gboss'll tell you that I've been to ^Bmwork all week on time And ^CI ain't had no liquor on my ^Gbreath ^GAin't no kind of secret I've been ^Bmknown to take a drink And it's ^Cmade me do some things that I r^Degret L^Coretta said this ain't no kind of ^Gway to raise a family And one ^Cnight she called it quits and called a ^Dcab She left the ^Cclothes out on the clothes line and the ^Gdishes in the sink So I ^Cguess she knows that she ain't comin' ^Dback

But I just ^Gwanna see my kids, I just ^Bmwanna hold my girls Heaven ^Cknows I ain't got much of nothin' ^Delse in this whole world I just ^Gwanna be around enough to ^Bmknow that they've been loved I just ^Cwanna be the daddy ^D my daddy never ^Gwas

Now ^Glately she's been knowing this ol' ^Bmboy she met in church And ^CI can't say she's wrong for wantin' ^Dmore I gave ^Ghim the right to tell my wife that ^BmI can't come around The ^Cnight I knocked a hole in her front ^Ddoor And Lor^Cetta took my keys and she ^Gmade me wait outside But she ^Cdidn't call the law she called a ^Dcab And ^Cas I pulled away I saw ^Gsomethin' in her eyes So ^CI reckon that she knows I ain't so ^Dbad

But I just ^Gwanna see my kids, I just ^Bmwanna hold my girls Heaven ^Cknows I ain't got much of nothin' ^Delse in this whole world I just ^Gwanna be around enough to ^Bmknow that they've been loved I just ^Cwanna be the daddy ^D my daddy never ^Gwas

My ^Gboss'll tell you that I've been to ^Bmwork all week on time C D (let ring) And I ain't had no liquor on my breath
