My Daddy Never Was Lyrics - Randy Travis

My boss will tell you that I've been to work all week on time 

That I ain't had no liquor on my breathe 

Ain't no kinda' secret, I've been known to take a drink 

And it's made me do some things that I regret 

Loretta said this ain't no kind of way to raise a family 

And one night she called it quits and called a cab 

She left her clothes out on the clothes line 

And the dishes in the sink 

So I guess she knows that she ain't coming back

Well I just want to see my kids 

I just want to hold my girls 

Heaven knows I ain't got much of nothing else in this ole world 

I just want to be around enough to know that they've been loved 

I just want to be their daddy, my daddy never was 

Now lately she's been knowin' this old boy she met in church 

And I can't say she's wrong for wanting more 

I gave him the right to tell my wife that I can't come around 

The night I knocked a hole in her front door 

And Loretta tooks my keys and she made me wait outside 

But she didn't call the law she called a cab 

And as I pulled away I saw something in her eyes 

So I reckon that she knows I ain't so bad

Well my boss will tell you that I've been to work all week on time
