	It disturbs me more and more everyday when I see families breaking up. There are too many children without fathers or mothers to share their lives. More times than not, for whatever reason, it is the fathers that are left out. I wrote this song about just that, a father that is trying to deal with the lack of time he has with the son that he loves so much.

	Story Behind the Song This song was born on a tractor. By that I mean I wrote the lyrics one Sunday while I was settin on a tractor workin. I was tryin to think of something that people could really relate to, and unfortunately there are more and more broken homes these days. I have had many people relate their stories to me after hearin this song, so I am very happy with that. This song is one of my favorites. ~Mitch~ Lyrics DADDYS GOTTA GO Here I am on my knees again alone Beside an empty bed in a house once called home, Askin could someone watch over him And give me strength til I see him again. Hes just a boy and he cant understand Why he and mama, cant live with dad, It hurts like hell when we come face to face Cause I know way too soon its time to say. Daddys gotta go, but Ill be back soon Mind your mom dont fuss or fight Say your prayers and do whats right Its okay to cry when Daddys gotta go In the short time that we have I do the best I can To show him what it means, to be a man, At times its tough, hes even seen me cry And its harder when I have to say good bye Daddys gotta go, but Ill be back soon Mind your mom dont fuss or fight Say your prayers and do whats right Its okay to cry when Daddys gotta go but Ill be back soon Mind your mom dont fuss or fight Say your prayers and do whats right Its okay to cry when Daddys gotta go Written by: Mitch Speed and Mark Fly
