Daddy Was A Liar Lyrics

Wake up in the morning and the box is gone
The bowl of milk and newborns over which you fawned
Daddy's doing something somewhere down the pond
I wonder what he's doing there?

A bag of kittens and a brick that's thrown
The consequence for bringin' one more mom cat home
You begged and pleaded but he still said no
Daddy never seemed to care

But Daddy was a liar
He never had the fire
Never understood why baby ever wanted something more

So four years later and you're almost grown
A makeup case and duffel holdin' all you own
Bobby's waitin' on the hardtop road
To pick you up and drive away

Wake up in the morning and you don't feel good
You're feelin' bad just like the doctor said you would
Consequence for doin' what you knew you should
Waitin' on your precious day

But nightmare premonitions lyin' on your back Wake you with malicious visions of your dad
Bobby said to relax and give the old man slack
But bad dreams they never go away
And Daddy was a liar
He never had the fire
Never understood why baby ever wanted something more

And your wadin' in the water
And lookin' for your daughter
Daddy's at the deep end draggin' something under from the shore

And Daddy was a liar
He never had the fire
Never understood why baby ever wanted something more

And your wadin' in the water
And lookin' for your daughter
Daddy's at the deep end tending to his wicked little chore

Wake up in the morning and your little girl's gone
A childhood short and shaky from a fear so strong
Bobby's doing something somewhere down the pond
I wonder what he's doing there?
