Daddy why did you have to go
and leave me all alone
it made me cry and want to leave
did momma make you go
I wish I could go wit you
but momma said I can't
she said i was to little and had to stay home
daddy you were the big man in my life
daddy why did you have to go
is it something I did
or is it something that I said
I'm fourteen
am i big enough now
daddy why did you have to go
I guess I'll never know
