Your Daddy Hates Me

Drive By Truckers


I know your Daddy hates me and I got a room in hell reserved. 
I know he wants to kill me and it's the least that I deserve 
But I always loved your Daddy, that's something that I know you know. 
Just sometimes don't do what I ought to, sometimes I yes when I should no. 

I know your Daddy hates me and I drink more than a whale 
but my failures ain't for lack of trying it's just a little too late now to prevail. 
You always knew I was a screw up, long before I screwed us up. 
You just said it endeared you to me, but in the end you just gave up 

And I always loved your Daddy, I loved your Mama even more 
And I always loved their daughter, that's for sure. 

I know your Daddy hates me, I know I'd probably hate me too. 
But, I also know you don't hate me, even though you'd probably like to and ought to. 
And it's a little too late for writing love songs, but I never did anything on time. 
Happiness on your big adventure. 
See you Darling down the line.
