Kenny Walsh — Wish Daddy Would Stop Drinkin' lyrics

Lyrics

She’s lying there in bed her eyes are filled with tears
As she listens to the screams as her mother cries in fear
Daddy’s drinkin again she wonders when it all will end
And as she squeezes her pillow tight
this is what she said
Oh God I wish daddy would stop drinkin
for he knows not what he does
and knows not what he says
Oh God wish daddy would stop drinkin
so me and him and mom can be a happy
family someday
She knows her dad works hard he’s a real
hard workin man
but a different kinda man when the liquor
takes command
And as the car flyes in the driveway
for another frightful night
she’d look up at her mom
and in a shaky voice she’d say
Oh mom I wish daddy would stop drinkin
for he knows not what he does
and knows not what he says
Oh mom wish daddy would stop drinkin
so me and you and him can be a happy
family someday
She’s lying there in bed her eyes are filled with tears drinkin ended her
daddy’s life
in a bad car wreck that year
Things sure are quiet now since her
daddy’s past away
And as she squeezes her pillow tight
this is what she said
Oh God I wish daddy had stopped drinkin
he’d be with us today and everything would be ok
Oh God I wish daddy had stopped drinkin
so me and him mom would be happy family today
