Lyrics
[Chorus] Oh Daddy, you know the truth, We were home, just watching, no proof. But lies they spin, and now I’m bound, To pay for a life, on hollow ground. [Verse ] Twenty years, twenty years, they're talking that number to me, But it was an accident, wasn't supposed to be. A hero’s folly at the corner store, I was at home, but they're knocking on my door. My so-called brother, turned his back on me, Said I did it, can't trust that "we're family." [Verse 2] Attica's walls, they don't scare me none, Fifteen years with good behavior under the sun. Mom's tears fall, but I tell her "It's alright," ‘Cause my boy’s growing, missing him is my fight. First steps, first tooth, wish I was there, But promises of freedom float in stagnant air. [Chorus] Oh Daddy, you know the truth, We were home, just watching, no proof. But lies they spin, and now I’m bound, To pay for a life, on hollow ground. [GUITAR SOLO] [BASS GUITAR SOLO] [DRUM SOLO] [DROP] [Bridge:] I learned the law, fired that man, ‘Cause time won’t wait for another's plan. And how’s your health, Dad? You need someone true, Since Mom’s gone, it’s just me and you. Debbie’s gone, found another man, But my boy’s mine, I’ll see him when I can. [Chorus] Oh Daddy, you know the truth, We were home, just watching, no proof. But lies they spin, and now I’m bound, To pay for a life, on hollow ground. [Verse 3] The truth hits hard, I’m owning up tonight, I did the deed, extinguished a life. Dad, you advised against it, but I couldn’t see, Caught up in envy, couldn’t let it be. Now it's just two years 'til I’m free, Dad, hold on, soon it’s just you and me. [Outro] Yes, Daddy, your love’s like divine, Two more years, then you're truly mine. Failed you once, but you stood by, ‘Til we meet again, under the open sky. [END]
