Daddy Don't Go

Twenty-two getting lost on you
I was struck by lightning
A kind of love that
Makes you leave your past behind

Twenty-five stood the test of time
I was still free falling
Through tornado warnings
You told me to hold on tight

You’ve got my best years honey
And I’d do it all again
I said babe let’s keep running

Then a tiny little voice said

You just got back
Don’t leave like that again
Daddy don’t go tonight
Just got done missing you
I'm not done kissing you now
Daddy don’t go

Cause whatever’s so important
Is not that important
How do I say goodbye
Time after time
When she says no

You don’t have to go
Daddy please stay home

Don’t go
Don’t go
Daddy just stay home
Please don’t leave tonight

Don’t go
Don’t go
Daddy just stay home

Open my suitcase you’re already crying now
I'm barely unpacked and I'm off to another town

You’ve got my best years honey
And I’d do it all again
I said we keep on running

Then a tiny little voice said

You just got back
Don’t leave like that again
Daddy don’t go tonight
Just got done missing you
I'm not done kissing you now
Daddy don’t go

Cause whatever’s so important
Is not that important
How do I say goodbye
Time after time
When she says no

You don’t have to go
Daddy please stay home

Don’t go
Don’t go
Daddy just stay home
Please don’t leave tonight
Don’t go
Don’t go
Daddy just stay home

Between two lives I'm running
And it’s all for you in the end
You’ve got my best years honey

Then a tiny little voice said

Don’t go
Don’t go
Daddy just stay home
Please don’t leave tonight
Don’t go
Don’t go
Daddy just stay home
Please don’t leave tonight

Don’t go
Don’t go
Daddy just stay home
Please don’t leave tonight
Don’t go
Don’t go
Daddy just stay home

Daddy please stay home
