[length: 04:09]
[00:10.67]It was six in the morning
[00:13.70]When I made the county line
[00:16.59]There’s someone I got to talk to
[00:19.57]I can’t get it off my mind
[00:21.58]He’s just a kid
[00:24.27]And he’s in a pretty rough spot
[00:27.83]Two dimes to make a phone call
[00:31.33]That’s about all I’ve got
[00:33.37]How’s my boy today?
[00:36.37]I know it’s been three weeks
[00:39.05]But you know how far I’ve got to go
[00:42.07]To make those loose ends meet
[00:43.81]How’s your mama now?
[00:47.06]With her new live-in friend
[00:51.58]Oh, how I hate the wounds
[00:54.06]That never seem to mend
[00:58.25]And he says I don’t call him daddy
[01:03.03]But he takes care of things
[01:06.24]When you pick me up on Friday
[01:07.91]Are you gonna bring me anything?
[01:10.99]Oh, don’t worry dad, you know
[01:13.85]It don’t matter what we do
[01:16.80]I don’t call him daddy
[01:18.83]He could never be like you
[01:26.78]Never be like you
[01:29.22]God bless their little hearts
[01:31.06]They’re the ones who really pay
[01:33.55]When mom and dad can’t get along
[01:36.16]And go their separate ways
[01:38.72]In a way I’m glad there’s someone there
[01:41.76]To fill the empty place
[01:45.94]Tears of understanding
[01:48.63]Streak down a dirty face
[01:54.05]And he says I don’t call him daddy
[01:57.21]But he takes care of things
[01:59.40]When you pick me up on Friday
[02:01.42]Are you gonna bring me anything?
[02:04.53]Oh, don’t worry dad, you know
[02:07.33]It don’t matter what we do
[02:10.09]I don’t call him daddy
[02:12.48]He could never be like you
[02:16.68]Be like you
[02:21.36]Be like you
[02:32.20]He is quite a little man
[02:35.13]Growing up as fast as he can
[02:37.74]And I don’t get to see him
[02:40.76]Half as much as I had planned
[02:43.20]There’s so much I need to tell him
[02:46.49]So precious little time
[02:47.40]A little rain on the window
[02:51.40]In a little wave goodbye
[02:58.47]And he says I don’t call him daddy
[03:00.04]But he takes care of things
[03:03.19]When you pick me up on Friday
[03:06.39]Are you gonna bring me anything?
[03:08.84]Oh, don’t worry dad, you know
[03:11.00]It don’t matter what we do
[03:14.56]I don’t call him daddy
[03:16.50]He could never be like you
[03:19.98]I don’t call him daddy
[03:20.99]But he takes care of things
[03:22.95]When you pick me up on Friday
[03:26.60]Are you gonna bring me anything?
[03:29.91]Oh, don’t worry dad, you know
[03:32.29]It don’t matter what we do
[03:36.11]I don’t call him daddy
[03:38.53]He could never be like you
[03:41.20]I don’t call him daddy
[03:42.83]But he takes care of things
[03:45.86]When you pick me up on Friday
[03:47.90]Are you gonna bring me anything?
[03:51.33]Oh, don’t worry dad, you know
[03:53.83]It don’t matter what we do
[03:56.25]I don’t call him daddy
[03:59.13]He could never be like you
