Subject: "I'm Still Your Daddy" by:Merle Haggard

I'm Still Your Daddy
Written: Merle Haggard
Source: Merle Haggard: If I Could Only Fly

I knew someday you'd find out about San Quentin
And your heart would break 
And your faith would go away
But it's time you knew the truth about your papa
I've not always been the man I am today

It's true I've done some time in prison
Let me be the first to tell you I was wrong
That was back when I was wild
Back when I was just a child
Back before your mama came along

So don't put me down
Don't push me away
I'm still your daddy baby, baby anyway
Don't put me down
Don't push me away
Daddy needs some family love today


So don't put me down
Don't push me away
I'm still your daddy baby, baby anyway
Don't put me down
Don't push me away
Daddy needs some family love today


So don't put me down
Don't push me away
I'm still your daddy baby, baby anyway
Don't put me down
Don't push me away
Daddy needs some family love today
