Good Time Daddy Blues

My good timin' daddy, he don’t treat me right
He just comes 'round when he wants and he leaves when he likes
I said, my good timin' daddy, he don’t treat me right
He just comes 'round when he wants and he leaves just when he likes
If I had me any sense I might simply cut him loose
But he done wrapped around my heart something like a noose
If I had me some sense now, I might simply cut him loose
Oh, but he done wrapped around my heart something like a noose
If the change in my pocket could buy me some more of your time
Oh Darlin', you know I’d spend every last nickel and dime
But I’m broke as it were and this amount just won’t suffice
So I’ve got me this heart I just can’t keep from being blue
And when you leave me lonesome, babe, it’s pining for you
I said, I’ve got me this heart now, just can’t keep from being blue
When you leave me lonesome, babe, you know it’s just pining for you
So I call you on the line but your twang’s gone outta tune
You’ve been gone so very long you’ve got me howlin' at the moon
Said when I call you up now, well your twang’s gone outta tune
You’ve been gone so very long you got me howlin' at the moon
But if the change in my pocket could buy me some more of your time
Oh Darlin', you know I’d spend every last nickel and dime
But I’m broke as it were and this amount just won’t suffice
You can ride you a pony, you can drive you a truck
But if you don’t feed 'em right, you’ll be shit outta luck
Said, you can ride you a pony or drive you a truck
Oh, but babe, you’ve gotta feed 'em or else you’re gon' be clean outta luck
So I’mma give that man a little piece of my mind
Tell him he best be stickin' 'round or else he’s wasting my time
Well I’m gon' give that man, now, a little piece of my mind
Tell him he best be stickin' 'round or else he’s just been wasting time
I said, my good timin' daddy, he don’t treat me right
He just comes 'round when he wants and he leaves when he likes
I said, my good timin' daddy, he don’t treat me right
He just comes 'round when he wants and he leaves just when he likes
He just comes 'round when he wants and he leaves just when he likes
