Kenny Rogers - I Don't Call Him Daddy Lyrics






It was six in the morning
When I made the county line
There's someone I got to talk to
I can't get it off my mind

He's just a kid
And he's in a pretty rough spot
Two dimes to make a phone call
That's about all I've got

How's my boy today?
I know it's been three weeks
But you know how far I've got to go
To make those loose ends meet

How's your mama now
With her new live-in friend
Oh, how I hate the wounds
That never seem to mend

And he says I don't call him daddy
But he takes care of things
When you pick me up on Friday
Are you gonna bring me anything?
Oh, don't worry dad, ya know
It don't matter what we do
I don't call him daddy
He could never be like you
Never be like you

God bless their little hearts
They're the ones who really pay
When mom and dad can't get along
And go their separate ways

In a way I'm glad there's someone
There to fill the empty place
Tears of understanding
Streak down a dirty face

And he says I don't call him daddy
But he takes care of things
When you pick me up on Friday
Are you gonna bring me anything?
Oh, don't worry dad, ya know
It don't matter what we do
I don't call him daddy
He could never be like you
Never be like you, be like you
Be like you

He is quite a little man
Growing up as fast as he can
And I don't get to see him
Half as much as I had planned

There's so much I need to tell him
So precious little time
A little rain on the window
In a little wave goodbye

And he says I don't call him daddy
But he takes care of things
When you pick me up on Friday
Are you gonna bring me anything?
Oh, don't worry dad, ya know
It don't matter what we do
I don't call him daddy
He could never be like you
Never be like you

I don't call him daddy
But he takes care of things
When you pick me up on Friday
Are you gonna bring me anything?
Oh, don't worry dad, ya know
It don't matter what we do
I don't call him daddy
He could never be like you
Never be like you

    Those wounds that never seem to mend. I know them all too well, there's no healing those wounds. You just learn to live with them.

    Dear Lady's and Gentlemen if you have not seen Mr Rogers please do so he is retiring His tour is called the last deal I got to see him 3 years ago for his Christmas show Billy Dean was with him a great show

    I sing this to my step Dad cuz he's a grade A DoucheCunt. Anybody else got step Dad problems? Feel like I've no one to talk to, except my DoucheCunt of a Step-Dad. To be fair, he is a really good listener, and kinda sweet. But he doesn't like me listening to Kenny Rogers and thats such a DoucheCunt move. This ones for You Kenny!!!!!! (Kenny is my Step Dads name). Kenny Rogers = Gods gift to music. Step Dad Kenny = Grade A DoucheCunt.

    Mr. Kenny Rogers, I love your old songs like Lady, Lucille, etc, but you completely butchered this awesome Doug Supernaw song! WTF

    S.... B....

    Apparently, Kenny's is actually the original

    Kenny recorded the song first before Doug recorded it, and it's really not that bad!
