Lyrics
Home to Daddy
You sent a picture and a postcard
My you sure look tan
Standing on some west coast beach
Holding some guys hand
The postcard said I need more time
I hope you'll understand
It was a picture of a biker chick
With a tattoo of the Zigzag man
And I will wait for you
To go through everything
That you need to be going through
I will wait for you
To get bored with running round
And come back
Home to your daddy
Baby I'll be ready
Come home to your daddy
Baby I'll be ready
Me I've never been so good
I got one million things to do
I buy these beers and pizzas
And watch tv all afternoon
I rented some videos, you know
I got one called "One from the Heart"
It really reminded me of us
Especially in the end
When they made a brand new start
And I will wait for you
No matter how far you run
Or how much fun you get up to
I will wait for you
To get tired of messing round
And come back
Home to your daddy
Baby I'll be ready
Come home to your daddy
Baby I'll be ready
I can still see us together
I can feel my arms around you again
I don't care how long I gotta be alone
Til you come back, till you come back
Home
Yea I got the letter
But I never had the sense to tear it up
And when I think about the day it came
It still makes me wanna throw up
I took all your things
Down to the U stor it lot
I covered everything in roses
And then I turned the lock
I will wait for you
No matter how far you run
Or how much fun you get up to
I will wait for you
To get tired with messing round
And come back
Home to your daddy
Baby I'll be ready
Come home to your daddy
Baby I'll be ready
