A Man That I Called Daddy A little mama’s boy with big man dreams Born with beauty and charm, he had everything A voice just like an angel, but he walked with devils wings Wine and whiskey were his demons He’d give a toast for any reason Washed his dreams down with a bottle While Mama sat home and cried What a waste of life Drank his dreams away for years with wine and song Where’d it all go wrong, all those years are gone Went to hell and back with eight babies and a wife Only God knows why Straight-jackets and shock therapy Headed down a road they call insanity Mama right there beside him Crazy in love with a man that I called Daddy He came back One day at a time He came back Life is funny sometimes Who’d have thought that in the end my Daddy’s hero could change water to wine As the years went by Our tears they turned to laughs Our last years together would be the best If we had only known then what we know now Miracles happen someway, somehow for a man that I called Daddy He came back One day at a time He came back Life is funny sometimes Who’d have thought that in the end my Daddy’s hero could change water to wine He wasn’t rich by worldly measures The one great gift a priceless treasure A faith in God above and Jesus Christ All he left behind when we said good-bye Was a wife and eight babies full of pride In knowin’ a man that we called Daddy Yeah, he came back One day at a time Yeah, he came back life is funny sometimes Who’d have thought that in the end my daddy’s hero could change water to wine A little mama’s boy with big man dreams Beauty, charm, he had everything
