Prompt / Lyrics
[verse] Daddy couldn’t take all the pressure at home, Me and momma woke up one day and daddy was gone. I was just a kid caught in the middle of it all, One long day the judge made the call, He said I’d see my daddy every other weekend, Turned 16 and I never seen daddy again. [chorus] I was lonely kid from a broken home, Figured out quick that some things change and some things won’t. I guess mama tried her best So thankful for the love she shown, I was a lonely kid from a broken home, Daddy left , but life went on, For a lonely kid from a broken home. [verse] I heard my daddy has got a new girlfriend again, Heard they flew to Florida for Labor Day weekend, Momma didn’t have much but she made do. Working miracles with that government food. The child support stopped coming in the mail, Another missed payment, daddy’s going to jail, Trying to stay sane, a kid going thru hell, Moved to the projects, with money made from a rummage sale, [chorus] I was lonely kid from a broken home, Figured out quick that some things change and some things won’t. I guess mama tried her best So thankful for the love she shown, I was a lonely kid from a broken home, Daddy left , but life went on, For a lonely kid from a broken home. [solo] Momma gone and daddy’s still alive. Everything I’ve seen’s been bottled up inside. Daddy don’t call and check on me, As far as I’m concerned he’s dead to me, Yeah [chorus] I was lonely kid from a broken home, Figured out quick that some things change and some things won’t. I guess mama tried her best So thankful for the love she shown, I was a lonely kid from a broken home, Daddy left , but life went on, For a lonely kid from a broken home.
