And I ain't had no liquor on my breath
G

Ain't no kind of secret I've been known to take a drink

And it's made me do some things that I regret

Loretta said this ain't no kind of way to raise a family
C

And one night she called it quits and called a cab
C

She left the clothes out on the clothes line and the dishes in the sink
C
D
So I guess she knows that she ain't comin' back
G
Bm
But I just wanna see my kids, I just wanna hold my girls
C
D
Heaven knows I ain't got much of nothin' else in this whole world
G
Bm
I just wanna be around enough to know that they've been loved
C
D

I just wanna be the daddy my daddy never was

Now lately she's been knowing this ol' boy she met in church
