Lyrics

It's a little past supper time
I'm still out on the front porch
Sittin on my behind, waiting for you
Wondering if everything was all right
Momma said come in boy, don't waste your time
I said I've got time, he'll be here soon
I was five years old and talkin to myself
Where were you, where'd you go
Daddy, can't you tell

I'm not tryin to fake it
And I ain't the one to blame
No there's no one home
In my house of pain
I didn't write these pages
And my script's been rearranged
No there's no one home
In my house of pain

Wasn't I worth the time
A boy needs a daddy like a dance to a mime
And all the time I looked up to you
I paced my room a million times
And all I ever got was one big line
The same old lie, how could you

Well I was eighteen and still talkin to myself
Where were you, where'd you go
Daddy, can't you tell

Well, if I learned anything from this
It's how to live on my own
