Well I'd like to say you're the one I look up to
And all my life I've always tried to be like you
Your little man, your biggest fan
But then I'd just be wishin' for what I never had
A lovin' father instead of just a weekend dad
With liquor on his breath, and be scared to death
When you come around I'd like to see my daddy
And not some wild-eyed stranger
Who shows up once in a while
A soul that's found all that he's been missin'
And you finally turn that corner in your life
Each night I pray that people see the day
When you come around
And Lord knows we'd have a lot of catchin' up to do
'Cause there's so many things I'd love to share with you
Maybe take a walk, a little time to talk
You could call us up and spend some time with your grandsons
Tell 'em stories, take 'em fishin' while they're still young
We could finally be a real family
When you come around I'd like to see my daddy
And not some wild-eyed stranger
Who shows up once in a while
A soul that's found that there's still time for livin'
And you finally turn that corner in your life
Each night I pray that people see the day
When you come around
To have you in my life would be a dream come true
For me to say I love you and to hear you say it too
When you come around I'd like to see my daddy
And not some wild-eyed stranger
Who shows up once in a while
A soul that's found all it takes to be forgiven
Is to finally turn that corner in your life
Oh I can't wait to be standin' there that day
When you come around
