Daddy's Waiting

As I drive towards home I picture daddy waiting
He`ll be glad to see his big time girl come home
He gets little in return for all he`s given
And the more he`s got to love since mamma`s gone
Now I`m fourty miles away and I`m just wonderin`
Why I ever told him I was doin` well
When I first went wrong I should have turned to daddy
But it`s hard to get back up once you are down
It`s the last time I`ll see flowers in the morning
It`s the last time I`ll hear robins in the spring
It`s the last time I`ll feel daddy`s arms around me
It`s the last chance here on earth I`ll have to sing
As I drive, the way behind me, daddy`s waiting
To a girl who all he hoped I`d ever be
Now he`ll say his final prayer and call me baby
And I`m glad his only seen one side of me
Now today makes thirteen years in federal prison
And tonight I`ll walk my last few steps alone
But I can`t help thinkin` somewhere daddy`s waiting
Once again to see his big time girl come home
It`s the last time I`ll see flowers in the morning
It`s the last time I`ll hear robins in the spring
It`s the last time I`ll feel daddy`s arms around me
It`s the last chance here on earth I`ll have to sing
It`s my last chance here on earth I`ll have to sing
