I Don't Call Him Daddy Lyrics - I Prefer The Moonlight - Kenny Rogers

It was six in the morning 

When I made the county line 

There's someone I got to talk to 

I can't get it off my mind 

He's just a kid 

And he's in a pretty rough spot 

Two dimes to make a phone call 

That's about all I've got 

How's my boy today? 

I know it's been three weeks 

But you know how far I've got to go 

To make those loose ends meet 

How's your mama now 

With her new live-in friend 

Oh, how I hate the wounds 

That never seem to mend

And he says I don't call him daddy 

But he takes care of things 

When you pick me up on Friday 

Are you gonna bring me anything? 

Oh, don't worry dad, ya know 

It don't matter what we do 

I don't call him daddy 

He could never be like you 

Never be like you 

God bless their little hearts 

They're the ones who really pay 

When mom and dad can't get along 

And go their separate ways 

In a way I'm glad there's someone 

There to fill the empty place 

Tears of understanding 

Streak down a dirty face 

Photos 

And he says I don't call him daddy 

But he takes care of things 

When you pick me up on Friday 

Are you gonna bring me anything? 

Oh, don't worry dad, ya know 

It don't matter what we do 

I don't call him daddy 

He could never be like you 

Never be like you, be like you 

Be like you 

He is quite a little man 

Growing up as fast as he can 

And I don't get to see him 

Half as much as I had planned 

There's so much I need to tell him 

So precious little time 

A little rain on the window 

In a little wave goodbye 

And he says I don't call him daddy 

But he takes care of things 

When you pick me up on Friday 

Are you gonna bring me anything? 

Oh, don't worry dad, ya know 

It don't matter what we do 

I don't call him daddy 

He could never be like you 

Never be like you 

I don't call him daddy 

But he takes care of things 

When you pick me up on Friday 

Are you gonna bring me anything? 

Oh, don't worry dad, ya know 

It don't matter what we do 

I don't call him daddy 

He could never be like you 

Never be like you
