Lyrics for Daddy And Home

I am dreaming tonight of an old Southern town And the best friend that I ever had For I've grown so weary of roaming around I'm going back home to my dad Your hair has turned to silver I know you're fading too Daddy, dear ol' Daddy I'm coming back to you You made my boyhood happy But still I longed to roam I've had my way, but now I'll say "I long for you and for home" [Incomprehensible] Dear ol' Daddy, you shared my sorrows and joy I know you'll still be just one of the boys So I'm starting back home tonight Your hair has turned to silver I know you're fading too Daddy, dear ol' Daddy I'm coming back to you You made my boyhood happy But still I longed to roam I've had my way, but now I'll say "I long for you and for home" [Incomprehensible] Daddy [Incomprehensible]
