Lyrics

"I?m a Daddy Now"



Chorus:
I?m a daddy now.
Better get busy making plans.
I?m a daddy now.
Got a brand new life in my hands,
And a sudden, powerful urge to do all of those right things I never did.
And I?m gonna share them all with my kid.

I?ve got life insurance and mortgage payments and lullabies on the brain.
I?ve got so many notions about taking care I may never drink again.
I?ve been starting to worry about money getting tight.
Still I?m determined that no matter what happens I?ll make everything right.

?Cause (chorus)

When I look back on when I was a kid I can?t help but feel sad.
My folks made their troubles mine and what they gave was all I had.
They were both so hard on me for just being a kid,
It was hard separating what is me from what was them but I?m sure glad I did.

?Cause (chorus)

When I was young I never knew how things could be.
All I knew was failure, fear and jealousy.
My life began for me the day that I left home.
But my kid won?t be ashamed or fear to call my house home.

?Cause (chorus)
