Teddy Bear For Baby Girl

I've fought to right the wrongs. Buried my grief through writing songs. Alienated myself from all the world. Became a recluse to my little girl. I've seen history repeat itself through me. Now I'm the father I vowed never to be. Baby girl forgive me for not being there. It's not because I don't love you or don't care. I was busy on the road up north somewhere. But sweetie daddy brought back this teddy bear. I had to grow up fast and be a man. But the stage took me further from you with the guitar in my hand. I was so deep in chasin' women and battling my alcholism. Although I sent you cards, I failed to give you a fathers wisdom. Baby girl forgive me for not being there. It's not because I didn't love you or didn't care. I was just on the road out west somewhere. But sweetie daddy brought back this teddy bear. I'm laying down my guitar and leaving the stage. On to a new chapter in my life, turn the page. Daddy is not perfect, mistakes are gonna be made. Looking into your pretty face I know I should have stayed. I'm here now, I'm not going anywhere. Baby girl daddy brought back this teddy bear! *For Brianna and Jasmine - Daddy love you!
