Daddy Learned To Fly Lyrics - Big To-do - Drive By Truckers

Daddy's gone away and no one can tell me why 

Mama's been so sad 

Since Daddy learned to fly 

Everybody brought food 

And everybody cried 

Nothing's been too good 

Since Daddy learned to fly 

Fun we used to have 

And the way we used to laugh 

It's all gone away since they cut my world in half 

Sometimes I think I see him smile from the sky 

But he never stops to visit since Daddy learned to fly 

Everyone tries so hard 

To ease my troubled mind 

Guess he's doing better than the ones he left behind 

They tell me I'm not old enough to know the reasons why 

The clouds reached down from heaven, 

Daddy learned to fly 

Learned to fly 

They tell me that in time everything will be okay 

Life goes back to normal 

Like before you flew away 

They tell me you can see me 

So I'm trying not to cry 

But sometimes I can't help it since Daddy learned to fly
