"Daddy's Been Gone Too Long" lyrics

"Daddy's Been Gone Too Long"

Played down in Texas, all the way to Tennessee
The Sheriff and the police, they don't seem to care for me
Tryna make my livin' one stage at a time
But they're takin' what I'm makin', yeah, they're robbin' this boy blind

Keep your ragged hotel, son, I'm takin' my ass home
Mama needs some lovin', and Daddy's been gone too long

Got all my horses runnin', my foot's down on the floor
She's layin' in our bed right now, sayin' she can't wait no more
Savin' up that honey, Daddy loves that honeycomb
Mama needs some lovin', and Daddy's been gone too long

Well, we don't get no sugar while I'm out here on the road
These outlaw bands and all my fans, I'm pourin' out my soul
Livin' like some gypsy child, that's the life I choose
For heaven's sakes, I just can't wait, I'm glad this run is through

I'm blowin' up my Chevy, Daddy's gonna drive it home
Mama needs some lovin', and Daddy's been gone too long
(Aw, yeah)

Got all my horses runnin', my foot's down on the floor
She's layin' in our bed right now, sayin' she can't wait no more
Savin' up that honey, Daddy loves that honeycomb
Mama needs some lovin', and Daddy's been gone too long

I'm comin', baby, I'm comin'

Got all my horses runnin', my foot's down on the floor
She's layin' in our bed right now, sayin' she can't wait no more
Savin' up that honey, Daddy loves that honeycomb
Mama needs some lovin', and Daddy's been gone too long

She'll play 'Wrecking Ball' by Eric Church, she knows it turns me on
Mama needs some lovin', and Daddy's been gone too long
Mama needs some lovin', and Daddy's been gone too long
(I'm comin' home, baby)
(I want me some of that honeycomb)
