It was twenty-five years ago, when I began my life The second child of a woman, who tried hard to raise us right She married a man, when I was just a babe Who treated me just like his own, even giving me his name I never knew my father I only knew his name I never knew the way he moved How he talked, or what he said Now I’m grown and mama says, "You’re like your daddy, just the same" Sometimes I got to wondering, about this man I never knew When I’d find myself into something, just the way he used to do Heard stories all my life, of how he loved to sing And how he would take apart and fix most anything I never knew my father I only knew his name I never knew the way he moved How he talked, or what he said Now I’m grown and mama says, "You’re like your daddy, just the same" Now I can’t say that I don’t care, that he died before I was born I get to asking why he did, and I’ll probably ask some more My life’s been good, I can’t say that I’ve had it bad But now I’m seeing years that my dad never had I never knew my father I only knew his name I never knew the way he moved How he talked, or what he said Now I’m grown and mama says, "You’re like your daddy, just the same"Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
