King Daddy
copyright 1997 Doug Kidder

King Daddy he's a real big guy and he's off to work every morning
Hammer on steel with the muscle and sweat stakes up a torch without a warning
Bring his pay home to his family he thinks to himself I could do better
Off in his car to the local bar a few drinks down it will not matter
King Daddy he's a legacy
King Daddy where's your family - tonight
but he just don't care

CHORUS

Can you see him
Can you hear him
Are you listening
You just got to get out
You just can't take it no more - no more
Ya King Daddy it's a tragedy to stay - you got to get away from here
(last time)
Ya King Daddy is history again

I say he's crazy he'd have to be to ever hurt you
He might stay the night in another bed the hearts been broken into
And when he comes home to his family the kids all run off to hide
He lays down the law with an iron fist he's taking away all your pride
King Daddy he's a real nice guy
King Daddy tell another lie - tonight
and you know he will

CHORUS

King Daddy he's a real big guy he's off to work every morning
Bring his pay home to his family and then he turns on them without warning
Hammer on steel in his factory says he doesn't care it does not matter
Off in his car to the local bar I think I find myself I could do better
King Daddy he's a real nice guy
King Daddy tell another lie - tonight
and he just don't care

CHORUS
vamp - no more
