At times you may have been away
But you’ve always been there for me
At times you may have been away
But you’ve always been there for me
But I did not see it
Cause I was too young to see
Too young to really understand
Things can’t go the way you planned
Too young to understand that
Things can’t go the way you planned
Sometimes a man has to go away
Just to meet life’s demands
Workin’ overtime
Cause a good livin’ don’t come cheap
You were workin’ overtime
Cause a good livin’ don’t come cheap
Come back from the night shift
While we were all asleep
Yeah, Daddy
Daddy, now I understand
Yeah, I said, now Daddy
Yeah, Daddy, now I do understand
Sometimes a man has to go away
Just to meet life’s demands
