Suzanne Prentice - Daddys Waiting Lyrics

As I drive towards home I picture daddy waiting
He'll be glad to see his big time girl come home
He gets little in return for all he's given
And the more he's got to love since mamma's gone

Now I'm fourty miles away and I'm just wonderin'
Why I ever told him I was doin' well
When I first went wrong I should have turned to daddy
But it's hard to get back up once you are down

It's the last time I'll see flowers in the morning
It's the last time I'll hear robins in the spring
It's the last time I'll feel daddy's arms around me
It's the last chance here on earth I'll have to sing

As I drive, the way behind me, daddy's waiting
To a girl who all he hoped I'd ever be
Now he'll say his final prayer and call me baby
And I'm glad his only seen one side of me

Now today makes thirteen years in federal prison
And tonight I'll walk my last few steps alone
But I can't help thinkin' somewhere daddy's waiting
Once again to see his big time girl come home

It's the last time I'll see flowers in the morning
It's the last time I'll hear robins in the spring
It's the last time I'll feel daddy's arms around me
It's the last chance here on earth I'll have to sing
It's my last chance here on earth I'll have to sing
