Teddy Bear For Baby Girl
I've fought to right the wrongs. Buried my grief through writing songs.
Alienated myself from all the world. Became a recluse to my little girl.
I've seen history repeat itself through me. Now I'm the father I vowed never to be.
Baby girl forgive me for not being there.
It's not because I don't love you or don't care.
I was busy on the road up north somewhere.
But sweetie daddy brought back this teddy bear.
I had to grow up fast and be a man. But the stage took me further from you with
the guitar in my hand.
I was so deep in chasin' women and battling my alcholism. Although I sent you
cards, I failed to give you a fathers wisdom.
Baby girl forgive me for not being there.
It's not because I didn't love you or didn't care.
I was just on the road out west somewhere.
But sweetie daddy brought back this teddy bear.
I'm laying down my guitar and leaving the stage. On to a new chapter in
my life, turn the page.
Daddy is not perfect, mistakes are gonna be made. Looking into your
pretty face I know I should have stayed.
I'm here now, I'm not going anywhere. Baby girl daddy brought back
this teddy bear!
*For Brianna and Jasmine - Daddy love you!
