Artist/Band: Hank Williams Sr.
Lyrics for Song: I'm a Long Gone Daddy
Lyrics for Album: Hall of Fame [2006]



(Hank Williams)



All you want to do is sit around and pout

And now I've got enough so I'm gettin' out

I'm leavin' now, I'm leavin' now

I'm a long gone daddy, I don't need you anyhow.



I've been in the doghouse for so doggone long

That when I get a kiss I think that somethin's wrong

I'm leavin' now, I'm leavin' now

I'm a long gone daddy, I don't need you anyhow.



I'll go find a gal that wants to treat me right

You go and get yourself a man that wants to fight

I'm leavin' now. I'm leavin' now

I'm a long gone daddy, I don't need you anyhow.



--- Instrumental ---



You start your jaws a waggin' and they never stop

You never shut your moth until I blow my top

I'm leavin' now, I'm leavin' now

I'm a long gone daddy, I don't need you anyhow.



I remember back when you were nice and sweet

Things have changed you'd rather fight than eat

I'm leavin' now, I'm leavin' now

I'm a long gone daddy, I don't need you anyhow.



--- Instrumental ---



I'm gonna do some ridin' on the midnight train

I'm takin' evrything cept my balled chain

I'm leavin' now, I'm leavin' now

I'm a long gone daddy, I don't need you anyhow...
