Mama called about the paper turns out they wrote about me
 Now my broken heart´s the only thing that's broke about me
 So many people should have seen what we got going on
 I only wanna put my heart and my life in songs
 Writing about the pain I felt with my daddy gone
 About the emptiness I felt when I sat alone
 About the happiness i feel when I sing it loud
 He should have heard the noise we made with the happy crowd
 Did my grand daddy know he taught me what a poem was
 How you can use a sentence or just a simple pause
 What will I say when my kids ask me who my daddy was
 I thought about it for a while and I'm at a loss
 Knowing that I´m gonna live my whole life without him
 I found out a lot of things I never knew about him
 All I know is that I´ll never really be alone
 Cause we gotta lot of love and a happy home

 Magazines are writing stuff but I don´t ever read them
 Some of the folks I used to know would see and start believing
 That I would pass them by on streets and never reach to greet them
 I still remember folks even though I rarely meet them
 Don´t you know I miss the times when we used to hang
 Before twenty deep depended on a single man
 Before a single heart was broken by a single blow
 Before all our careers depended on a single show
 I grew up with a lot of love in a happy home
 Now I got a lot of cash and I'm on a road
 I realize privacy´s [bad word] difficult
 It´s all right now but what about when I´m old
 I know my good friends now they´ll last
 the same ones that stood by me when my daddy past
 All I know is that we´ll never really be alone
 Cause we got a lot of love and a happy home

 I write a lot of songs will anybody ever read them
 You hear them on the radio but will you really read them
 Why do we have our idols and why do we wanna be them
 After we see them on TV we really wanna meet them
 Don´t you think they miss the time when they used to hang
 Before a fan base depended on a single man
 Before a single heart was broken by a single show
 Who´s gonna stand who´s gonna fall I really wanna know
 I grew up with a lot of love in a happy home
 My daddy use to play me vinyl but now daddy´s gone
 I used to practice with my mommy on the piano
 I still get nervous every time I know she´s at a show
 Now my [bad word] first before everyone
 I had the perfect dad I wanna be the perfect son
 Though I really feel sometimes I am on my own
 I know I got a lot of love and a happy home
