Daddy's House

Daddy left me his house,
The Day that He died,
Mamma left years ago,
And oh how I cried

Daddy treated her bad,
All she left was her keys,
I don't want daddy's house,
Too many bad memories

Too many bad memories,
Come creeping back in,
Why would I want to go back there,
And relive them again,

Nothing good ever came there,
On the wrong side of town
I don't want daddy's house,
I'm tearing it down

break

The day mamma left,
I was only just three,
How could I fill her shoes,
And meet all daddy's needs

Left when I was fourteen,
Made my life on the streets,
I don't want daddy's house,
Too many bad memories

Too many bad memories,
Come creeping back in,
Why would I want to go back there,
And relive them again,

Nothing good ever came there,
On the wrong side of town,
I don't want daddy's house,
I'm tearing it down.

Nothing good ever came there,
On the wrong side of town,
I don't want daddy's house,
I'm tearing it down.

I don't want daddy's house,
I'm tearing it down,
I don't want daddy's house,
I'm tearing it down.
