Lyrics for Daddy's Advice
Tell me mom about your daddy's advice About that knock-down, drag-out fight That you said you've had over me Was he mad like a dog and a growling too Why did you defend yourself With those pretty red shoes Now tell your baby what your daddy do Well, I was down at the club When some drunk came up And said you were outside crying I knew you couldn't get far I looked in my car And you were on the back seat dying Your hair was mashed Your brand new dress was ripped Looked like your daddy had really flipped And the tears Were rolling outta your eyes Then you held me tight Through the whole night But you said you'd go back At the cracked daylight Oh, tell your baby What's your daddy's advice Tell me Mom about your daddy's advice I can't stand one more lovesick night And I don't like the way That he does you If you tell me Momma when you think it's smart I'll put the bullet through your daddy's heart I'll kill your daddy What's your baby do I'll kill your daddy What's your baby do
