Lyrics

I know your daddy hates me and I got a room in hell reserved
I know he wants to kill me and it? the least that I deserve
But I always loved your daddy, that? something that I know you know
Just sometimes don? do what I ought to, sometimes I yes when I should no

I know your daddy hates me and I drink more than a whale
But my failures ain? for lack of trying it? just a little too late now to prevail
You always knew I was a screw up, long before I screwed us up
You just said it endeared you to me, but in the end you just gave up

And I always loved your daddy, I loved your mama even more
And I always loved their daughter, that? for sure

I know your daddy hates me, I know i? probably hate me too
But, I also know you don? hate me, even though you? probably like to and ought to
And it? a little too late for writing love songs, but I never did anything on time
Happiness on your big adventure
See you darling down the line
