I woke up early as kids would do
Made no noise in the hallway as I sneaked through
I saw him on the porch through the screen door
He seemed so distant like never before
I sat down on the stairs for a while
Didn’t want him to see me but I don’t know why
He stood there smoking Marlboro Light
And I didn’t understand the things he’d fight
I was wonderin’ where daddy’s gone
Standin’ in the light of the morning sun
He was tall and lean as a railroad track
Looked so abandoned like a lonesome shack
He was there yet so far away
Nеver quite home, nеver on his way
And I was wondering where daddy’s gone
When he seemed so distant like the morning sun
Mom told me just you leave him alone
At times a man’s gotta be on his own
Pain has a way of hangin’ around
As the years go by it’ll wear you down
And I was wondering where daddy’s gone
When he seemed so cold like the morning sun
Now I lay in bed till my back hurts
Sometimes it gets better but it’s mostly worse
And if there’s something I’m thankful for
That ain’t nobody count on me anymore
And now I know where daddy’s gone
When he felt so weak like the morning sun
Yes I know where daddy’s gone
He’s my father, and I’m his son
