My Boss Will Tell You That I've Been To Work All Week On Time
That I Ain't Had No Liquor On My Breathe
Ain't No Kinda' Secret, I've Been Known To Take A Drink
And It's Made Me Do Some Things That I Regret

Loretta Said This Ain't No Kind Of Way To Raise A Family
And One Night She Called It Quits And Called A Cab
She Left Her Clothes Out On The Clothes Line
And The Dishes In The Sink
So I Guess She Knows That She Ain't Coming Back

Well I Just Want To See My Kids
I Just Want To Hold My Girls
Heaven Knows I Ain't Got Much Of Nothing Else In This Ole World
I Just Want To Be Around Enough To Know That They've Been Loved
I Just Want To Be Their Daddy, My Daddy Never Was

Now Lately She's Been Knowin' This Old Boy She Met In Church
And I Can't Say She's Wrong For Wanting More
I Gave Him The Right To Tell My Wife That I Can't Come Around
The Night I Knocked A Hole In Her Front Door
And Loretta Tooks My Keys And She Made Me Wait Outside
But She Didn't Call The Law She Called A Cab
And As I Pulled Away I Saw Something In Her Eyes
So I Reckon That She Knows I Ain't So Bad

I Just Want To See My Kids
I Just Want To Hold My Girls
Heaven Knows I Ain't Got Much Of Nothing Else In This Ole World
I Just Want To Be Around Enough To Know That They've Been Loved
I Just Want To Be Their Daddy, My Daddy Never Was

Well My Boss Will Tell You That I've Been To Work All Week On Time
And I Ain't Had No Liquor On My Breathe
