I am dreamin' tonight
of an old southern town
and the best friend
that I ever had
For I've grown so weary
of roamin' around
and I'm goin' home to my dad
Your hair has turned to silver
and I know you're failin' too
Daddy dear oh Daddy
I'm comin' back to you
You made my
childhood happy
but still I long to roam
I've had my way
but now I say
I long for you and for home
Dear Daddy you shared
all my sorrows and joys
You tried hard to
bring me up right
I know you'll still be
one of the boys
I'm startin' back home tonight
Your hair has turned to silver
and I know you're failin' too
Daddy dear oh Daddy
I'm comin' back to you
You made my
childhood happy
but still I long to roam
I've had my way
but now I say
I long for you and for home
I've had my way
but now I say
I long for you and for home
