[00:01.47]Mama called about the paper turns out they wrote about me
[00:04.71]Now my broken heart's the only thing that's broke about me
[00:08.03]So many people should have seen what we got going on
[00:11.48]I only wanna put my heart and my life in songs
[00:14.87]Writing about the pain I felt with my daddy gone
[00:18.14]About the emptiness I felt when I sat alone
[00:21.50]About the happiness i feel when I sing it loud
[00:25.04]He should have heard the noise we made with the happy crowd
[00:28.39]Did my grandaddy know he taught me what a poem was
[00:31.86]How you can use a sentence or just a simple pause
[00:35.21]What will I say when my kids ask me who my daddy was
[00:38.58]I thought about it for a while and I'm at a loss
[00:41.96]Knowing that I'm gonna live my whole life without him
[00:45.53]I found out a lot of things I never knew about him
[00:48.94]All I know is that I'll never really be alone
[00:52.23]Cause we gotta lot of love and a happy home
[00:58.20]
[01:09.78]Magazines are writing stuff but I don't ever read them
[01:12.91]Some of the folks I used to know would see and start believing
[01:16.29]That I would pass them by on streets and never reach to greet them
[01:19.60]I still remember folks even though I rarely meet them
[01:23.02]Don't you know I miss the times when we used to hang
[01:26.49]Before twenty deep depended on a single man
[01:29.69]Before a single heart was broken by a single blow
[01:33.16]Before all our careers depended on a single show
[01:36.73]I grew up with a lot of love in a happy home
[01:40.25]Now I got a lot of cash and I'm on a road
[01:43.57]I realize privacy's becoming difficult
[01:46.91]It's all right now but what about when I'm old
[01:50.46]I know my good friends now they'll last
[01:53.96]the same ones that stood by me when my daddy past
[01:57.45]All I know is that we'll never really be alone
[02:00.75]Cause we got a lot of love and a happy home
[02:04.81]
[02:17.82]I write a lot of songs will anybody ever read them
[02:21.05]You hear them on the radio but will you really read them
[02:24.52]Why do we have our idols and why do we wanna be them
[02:27.88]After we see them on TV we really wanna meet them
[02:31.33]Don't you think they miss the time when they used to hang
[02:34.74]Before a fan base depended on a single man
[02:38.03]Before a single heart was broken by a single show
[02:41.39]Who's gonna stand who's gonna fall I really wanna know
[02:44.93]I grew up with a lot of love in a happy home
[02:48.43]My daddy use to play me vinyl but now daddy's gone
[02:51.86]I used to practice with my mommy on the piano
[02:55.12]I still get nervous every time I know she's at a show
[02:58.70]Now my family comes first before everyone
[03:02.05]I had the perfect dad I wanna be the perfect son
[03:05.69]Though I really feel sometimes I am on my own
[03:08.89]I know I got a lot of love and a happy home
[03:12.74]
