	Story Behind the Song A young boy grows up vowing that he will stay a father at all costs. Lyrics Broken Little Man Words & music by Chapman James Sittin on the front porch. His head down in his hands. Starin at his driveway like a Broken Little Man. He was 4 years old spending days watchin cars go by. Lookin for a Brown BelAire that never said Goodbye. He said : Daddy went away he’s been a long time gone I told God I was sorry for what ever I did wrong But, he’ll be back home today, He must’ve lost his way I’ll wish on every star till he comes home Well the years blew by in seasoned gusts and childhood passed the boy Friends and family raised the child but never filled the void He used to sing for hours to the trains that rolled away And prayed the Lord to find his Dad & send him home to stay He sang : Daddy went away he’s been a long time gone I told God I was sorry for what ever I did wrong Will he be back home today, He must’ve lost his way I’ll wish on every star till he comes home By and by some family ties will break While all those little ones sit quietly & wait. Now he couldn’t change the emptiness that filled his younger life. So he swore he’d be a loving friend the day he took a wife Some nights he wakes up crying like the little boy inside. But, breathes relief when tiny feet crawl in his bed to hide He says : Your Daddy’s gonna stay I’lll never leave you alone God knows that I’ll be sorry if I ever do you wrong And I’ll be here everyday, never lose my way You can bet on any star I’ll stay at home
