"Daddy Don't Go" lyrics

22, getting lost on you
I was struck by lightning
A kind of love that makes you leave your past behind

25, stood the test of time
I was still free-falling
Through tornado warnings, you told me to hold on tight

You got my best years, honey
And I'd do it all again
I said, "Babe, let's keep running"
Then a tiny little voice said

"You just got back, don't leave like that again
Daddy, don't go tonight
Just got done missing you, I'm not done kissing you now
Daddy, don't go"
'Cause whatever's so important is not that important
How do I say goodbye time after time
When she says, "No, you don't have to go
Daddy, please stay home"?

Don't go, don't go
Daddy, just stay home
Please don't leave tonight
Don't go, don't go
Daddy, just stay home

Open my suitcase, you're already crying now
I'm barely unpacked, and I'm off to another town
(Don't go, don't go) oh

You've got my best years, honey
And I'd do it all again
I say we keep on running
Then a tiny little voice said

"You just got back, don't leave like that again (ooh)
Daddy, don't go tonight
Just got done missing you, I'm not done kissing you now
Daddy, don't go"
'Cause whatever's so important is not that important
How do I say goodbye time after time
When she says, "No, you don't have to go
Daddy, please stay home"?

Don't go, don't go
Daddy, just stay home
Please don't leave tonight
Don't go, don't go
Daddy, just stay home

Between two lives I'm running
And it's all for you in the end
You've got my best years, honey
Then a tiny little voice said

"Don't go, don't go
Daddy, just stay home
Please don't leave tonight
Don't go, don't go
Daddy, just stay home
Please don't leave tonight

Don't go, don't go
Daddy, just stay home
Please don't leave tonight
Don't go, don't go
Daddy, just stay home

Daddy, please stay home"
