Daddy Don't Go

My best friend lived next door to me
Her husband drove a truck for his family
But his pride and joy was that little boy
Every time he'd leave for another trip
The tears would fall and that bottom lip
Lord it never failed, you could hear him yell

Daddy don't go, I need you here
I want you to tuck me in tonight
And help me say my prayers
Can I go with you, if the answer is no
Please stay with me
Daddy don't go

One day they had a family spat
The little fellow wasn't much used to that
Except for us, he'd never even heard a fuss
His daddy got mad and was driving away
The tears started falling down his baby's face
He wasn't out of the drive
And he heard his little man cry

Daddy don't go, I need you here
I want you to tuck me in tonight
And help me say my prayers
Can I go with you, if the answer is no
Please stay with me
Daddy don't go

Last week a truck collided
On a winding icy road
And a mama had to tell her boy
Daddy wouldn't be coming home
Son, he took a trip to heaven
And he's with Jesus now
Lord it almost killed us all
When he started crying out

Daddy don't go, I need you here
I want you to tuck me in tonight
And help me say my prayers
Can I go with you, if the answer is no
Please stay with me
Daddy don't go

Oh I love you so
Daddy don't go
