Abandoned Fathers Verse 1) She packed her things and disappeared Six years ago tonight. She left while I was gone at work To avoid the fight. I can't really blame her After all the things I did, But when she left, she also took the kids. Chorus) Abandoned Fathers Don't read no book reports. Abandoned Fathers Can't pay no child support. Go ahead and leave me If that's what you want to do... But remember, They're my kids too. Verse 2) I wasn't there to hold her Each time that things went wrong. Bein' alone with those three kids Made every day seem long. I guess I wasn't quite the man She pictured in her dreams. I wonder if the kids know what that means. Chorus) Abandoned Fathers Don't read no book reports. Abandoned Fathers Can't pay no child support. Go ahead and leave me If that's what you want to do... But remember, They're my kids too. Bridge) I'll bet Willie's playin' baseball Or fishin' on a pond And Sally's prob'ly dancin' round With a "magic wand". Kyle was only three years old I wonder now what they've been told My broken heart can't be consoled By time... 'Cause they're still mine. Verse 3) There'll never be a second time To raise my family. I'll never have another chance To be what I could be. The dad in me that she tore out When she walked out of sight Feels abandoned each and every night. Chorus) Abandoned Fathers Don't read no book reports. Abandoned Fathers Can't pay no child support. Go ahead and leave me If that's what you want to do... But remember, They're my kids too. Tag) Go ahead and leave me If that's what you want to do... But remember, (Spoken) I'm their dad, too. © 2004 CowboySlim, BMI
