Chris Bradford - Father Of Mine Lyrics

You cheated on my mom with her very best friend
Left us at a young age with no way to defend
Momma tried to hold on but her heart was torn
By a man who vanished with no time to mourn
Where did you go father of mine
We needed you here through the hardest times
You chose another life another way
And we were left alone day after day
I wished I could live with you far from the pain
My stepdad's anger drove me insane
Mom did her best but I longed for your face
Dreamed of your love and your warm embrace
Where did you go father of mine
We needed you here through the hardest times
You chose another life another way
And we were left alone day after day
Years went by no word no sound
Though you lived in the same damn town
I wondered why you never called
Why you let the distance grow so tall
You ended up behind bars lost and confined
Paying the price for that reckless mind
Still no letters no visits came
Just a ghost of a dad with a forgotten name
Where did you go father of mine
We needed you here through the hardest times
You chose another life another way
And we were left alone day after day
Now I have a daughter she's my whole world
Can't imagine leaving my precious girl
I promise her that I'll always be there
To show the love that you couldn't share
I hold her so tight with all of my heart
Never letting go never being apart
For the father I am is shaped by you
To never do the things that you put us through
