    Lyrics

    Daddy plays the Honky Tonks and he lives out on the road
    He hasnt seen his little ones since the last big Christmas show
    Blindly each night he goes on and he plays his old guitar
    Then cries on through another night
    As he wonders how they are

    Hes a daddy
    But he doesnt know how to fill the boots he wears
    He needs them to be proud of him
    Those little ones who care
    He sings the songs to make his name and he hopes he might get there
    But the little ones just want daddy and hes losing precious years


    Drinkings his only comfort but each bottle makes him worse
    Last night he forgot the words to
    E every second verse
    He hides away until the day he can make his little ones proud
    But they dont care what daddy does
    So long as hes around

    Hes a daddy
    But he doesnt know how to fill the boots he wears
    He needs them to be proud of him
    Those little ones who care
    He sings the songs to make his name and he hopes he might get there
    But the little ones just want daddy and hes losing precious years

    Hes loved just for who he is they dont care what he does
    But he doesnt feel good enough
    To deserve his little ones
    The years have all past them now and time has slipped away
    Theyre all here together now
    Theyll bury him today

    And just before he closed his eyes the last thing he said out loud
    I love you both my little ones
    I hope I made you proud

    Hes a daddy
    But he doesnt know how to fill the boots he wears
    He needs them to be proud of him
    Those little ones who care
    He sings the songs to make his name and he hopes he might get there
    But the little ones just want daddy and hes losing precious years

    But the little ones just wanted daddy and he lost those precious years.
