[00:00.850]Mama called about the paper turns out they wrote about me
[00:04.690]Now my broken heart's the only thing that's broke about me
[00:08.420]So many people should have seen what we got going on
[00:11.970]I only wanna put my heart and my life in songs
[00:15.700]Writing about the pain I felt with my daddy gone
[00:19.480]About the emptiness I felt when I sat alone
[00:23.130]About the happiness i feel when I sing it loud
[00:26.960]He should have heard the noise we made with the happy crowd
[00:30.640]Did my grandaddy know he taught me what a poem was
[00:34.370]How you can use a sentence or just a simple pause
[00:38.050]What will I say when my kids ask me who my daddy was
[00:41.800]I thought about it for a while and I'm at a loss
[00:45.680]Knowing that I'm gonna live my whole life without him
[00:49.260]I found out a lot of things I never knew about him
[00:53.000]All I know is that I'll never really be alone
[00:57.040]Cause we gotta lot of love and a happy home
[01:15.670]Magazines are writing stuff but I don't ever read them
[01:19.200]Some of the folks I used to know would see and start believing
[01:22.990]That I would pass them by on streets and never reach to greet them
[01:26.680]I still remember folks even though I rarely meet them
[01:30.460]Don't you know I miss the times when we used to hang
[01:34.090]Before twenty deep depended on a single man
[01:37.730]Before a single heart was broken by a single blow
[01:41.620]Before all our careers depended on a single show
[01:45.250]I grew up with a lot of love in a happy home
[01:49.230]Now I got a lot of cash and I'm on a road
[01:52.770]I realize privacy's becoming difficult
[01:56.460]It's all right now but what about when I'm old
[02:00.240]I know my good friends now they'll last
[02:04.070]The same ones that stood by me when my daddy past
[02:07.760]All I know is that we'll never really be alone
[02:11.640]Cause we got a lot of love and a happy home
[02:30.080]I write a lot of songs will anybody ever read them
[02:33.860]You hear them on the radio but will you really read them
[02:37.590]Why do we have our idols and why do we wanna be them
[02:41.230]After we see them on TV we really wanna meet them
[02:45.130]Don't you think they miss the time when they used to hang
[02:48.720]Before a fan base depended on a single man
[02:52.400]Before a single heart was broken by a single show
[02:56.180]Who's gonna stand who's gonna fall I really wanna know
[02:59.930]I grew up with a lot of love in a happy home
[03:03.710]My daddy used to play me vinyl but now daddy's gone
[03:07.400]I used to practice with my mommy on the piano
[03:11.030]I still get nervous every time I know she's at a show
[03:14.830]Now my family comes first before everyone
[03:18.610]I had the perfect dad I wanna be the perfect son
[03:22.510]Though I really feel sometimes I am on my own
[03:26.040]I know I got a lot of love and a happy home
