Lyrics

"He could hear his little boy was crying coming through his CB radio
His mamma said he doesn't feel like talking he gets like this when you're on the road
He's so young he doesn't understand
He just wants his dad
He's been acting up all day
In the background he hears his little boy say

Daddy come home, Daddy come home
When you're not here I feel so alone
Daddy come home, Daddy come home
I don't really like it when you're gone
Daddy come home

In the laptop glow he sees his daughter born only a few short hours before
3 days spent 9 months ago R & R from a distant desert war
She holds her up so he can see her face
Somewhere out in cyberspace
He wipes his eyes with trembling hands
She says congratulations honey you're a dad

Daddy come home, Daddy come home
You've got a little girl now of your own
Daddy come home, Daddy come home
So you can watch your little princess grow
Daddy come home,

A man lies in a hospital bed
3 car crash the doctor said
We've done our best now it's all up to him
Wife and kids by his side
Trying so hard not to cry
His daughter takes his hand and whispers in his ear

Daddy come home, Daddy come home
We love you so much, God I hope you know
Daddy come home, Daddy come home
If you can hear me squeeze my hand and don't let go
Daddy come home

There's a front door opening tonight
to little voices shouting daddy's home"
