Lyrics
Lawrence W. Hunt 2002
Becky Got ‘Round
Becky and me, back in Spring ’83, bought a couple of six packs to go
We were too young to have beer drinkin’ fun, but the guy at the store didn’t know
I drove my old car down by Cripple Creek Dam and turned up the old radio
Now don’t even bother to ask what came next, ‘cause that was a long time ago, and
Chorus 1
Becky got ‘round, and Becky got rounder
By fall she left town and I never found her
She never wrote and she never called
Sometimes I wonder if I even knew her at all
Well here I am now and it’s 2002, I’m livin’ the good life I guess
A wife and two kids and a dog in the yard, I guess you could say I’ve been blessed
But now and again my mind wanders back then, I can’t help but wonder a bit
Why Becky left town without sayin’ goodbye, could it be ’cause of somethin’ I did
Repeat Chorus 1
Bridge
One night the phone rang and I picked it up
The voice on the other end finally spoke up
She said Becky’s my mom and she says you’re my Dad
She swears you’re the Daddy that I never had, ‘cause
Chorus 2
Becky got ‘round, and Becky got rounder
By fall she left town and you never found her
You never wrote and you never called
Through all the years I’ve been wonderin’ if you cared at all
Daddy, through all the years I’ve been wonderin’ if you cared at all
