Stephen Kilmer Poet Lyric

Daddy Don'T

Knocked up knocked down
Beat up and pushed around
Things ain’t gonna be, gonna be
The way they used to be

Because I got an equalizer
I’ll knock you in the head
I got a tranquilizer that’ll put you 
Straight to bed

So daddy don’t 
Daddy do
Daddy don’t you do the things
You use to do

Knocked up knocked down
Beat up and pushed around
Things ain’t gonna be, gonna be 
The way they used to be

You can kiss my ass 
And the trailer good bye
Mama said you was less that 
Trailer trash

So daddy don’t 
Daddy do
Daddy don’t you do the things
You use to do

Sheriff come round and says 
Your bound to die if you keep it up
So save yourself and don’t come around
What is done is done

But I swear if I see you again
It will be at the end of pointed gun

So daddy don’t 
Daddy do
Daddy don’t you do the things
You use to do

Andrea Dietrich January 29, 2014 at 9:24 PM oh wow. I hope you will soup mail me and tell me how to go about shopping a poem around for a singer. I have a country song too!! and it even uses the word Knock, but it's nothing like yours in theme!!

Andrea Dietrich January 29, 2014 at 8:17 AM ooh la la. A POWERFUL piece on abuse. I could see this sung as a country song. I like how you played on the pregnancy theme with Knocked up!! Stephen Kilmer January 29, 2014 at 8:44 AM Thanks Andrea. My intention is to make it into a country song and shop it around. I still need to clean it up a bit, but the general idea is there. ~Kilmer
