Hey daddy I need a drink of water those are the sounds I'm living by

Not long ago my ears thought they were happy

When a jukebox in a bar was turned up high

But drinking there no children call me daddy now these are the sounds I'm living by

Hey daddy can we watch the movie hey daddy can I go outside

Hey daddy sister lost her broodie those are the sounds I'm living by

So now the bars and blondes are bitter history I wanna hear my babies when they cry

And why I left them once is still a mistery I almost lost the sounds I'm living by

Hey daddy you know that I love you hey daddy what's there in your eye

Yes daddy's crying but I'm happy for these are the sounds I'm living by
