I Don't Call Him Daddy - Doug Supernaw

It was six in the morning when I made the county line

There's someone

I've got to talk to can't get it off my mind

He is just a kid and he's in a pretty rough spot

Two dimes to make a phone call

That's about all I got

How's my boy today

I know it's been three weeks

But you know how far

I've got to go these days to make ends meet

How's your mama now with her new live in friend

Oh how I hate the wounds that never seem to mend

You said 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 you know

It don't matter what we do

'Cause I don't call him daddy

He can never be like you

God bless the little hearts

There the ones who really pay

When Mom and Dad can't get along

And they go their separate ways

In a way I'm glad there's someone

There to fill the empty space

Tears of understanding stream down a dirty face

You said 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

You know it don't matter what we do

'Cause I don't call him daddy

He can never be like you

Be like you

Be like you

He is quite a little man growin' 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 and a little wave

Goodbye

You said 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 you know

It don't matter what we do

'Cause I don't call him daddy

He can never be like you

He said 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

You know it don't matter what we do

'Cause I don't call him daddy

He can never be like you
