Daddy And Home

I am dreaming tonight of an old Southern town

And the best friend that I ever had

For I've grown so weary of roaming around

I'm going back home to my dad

Your hair has turned to silver

I know you're fading too

Daddy, dear ol' Daddy

I'm coming back to you

You made my boyhood happy

But still I longed to roam

I've had my way, but now I'll say

"I long for you and for home"

Dear ol' Daddy, you shared my sorrows and joy

You tried to bring me up right

I know you'll still be just one of the boys

So I'm starting back home tonight

Your hair has turned to silver

I know you're fading too

Daddy, dear ol' Daddy

I'm coming back to you

You made my boyhood happy

But still I longed to roam

I've had my way, but now I'll say

"I long for you and for home"

Daddy
