Lyrics

Verse 1
Well, I'll never for get that Tuesday, when he told me, "son I guess, you know, I haven't been staying at home," and I said, Yes, daddy I know.

He said, "son this has nothing to do with you, and so you know that I love you," and I said, Yes, daddy I know.

chorus
But I cried oh, daddy
why are you leaving
and where will you go
well he said son I'm now going home
and I said yes, daddy I know.

Verse 2
Well, after that day, things were never really the same
but daddy said it had to be that way
well, all I knew is that I wanted him home, although
I said, Yes, daddy I know.

chorus-1x

Verse 3
Years later, looking at my son,
I tell him how much I love him
and I'll never leave him like my daddy did
and he says, Yes daddy I know.

chorus-1x--end
