Song Lyrics

Latley I've been spendin' lots of time with my kid
Tellin' him stories
About the things that we did
When we were a family

Long time ago
I've answerd his questions
'Til I'm blue in the face
Wish all that hurt in him

I could erase
But I tell him the truth
Cause he ain't to young to know

[Chorus]
Single father
Part time mother
When I'm not one
Then I'm the other
You used to be
My full time lover
Now I'm a single father
And a part time mother
I spend every minute
I can with my boy
There's no doubt about it
He's my pride and joy

Someday he will grow up
And I won't have him no more
Some things I just find
Too hard to explain

So we go to mcdonalds
Or I buy him a train
And we go put it together
On the living room floor

Such is the life
Of a single father
He says daddy explain
If it's not too much bother

While its just you and me
Living here in this home
I don't understand it
And neither does he

Why there's just two
When there should be three of us
Sharing this moment
Lord I feel so alone

[Chorus]

David Allan Coe, R.j. Ritchie
