Bobby Darwin’s Daughter
[Verse 1]
Bobby Darwin's daughter looks up from the bible she's been readin' to the clock
On her dirty wall of a double wide
It's 3 am
Her husbands on the town shootin' pool or foolin' around
Or all of the above it doesn't matter anymore
She can't get through to him
Seems like only yesterday they were married in a chapel
Candlelight the whole nine yards, honeymoon in Vegas
They settled down
Now it's lonely nights and hungry kids
She just keeps on lookin' for the life
That's not the life she's livin' now
[Chorus]
Bobby Darwin's daughter used to ask her father
Where Santa Clause and babies and God came from
And as she's gotten older all those easy answers
Are somewhere between here and kingdom come
And in her darkest hours Bobby Darwin's daughter
Wishes she could go back when
She'd ask where God came from
Instead of wonderin' where he's been
[Verse 2]
Bobby Darwin's daughter droppin' off the kids
Drivin' home in the pourin' rain, a sudden skid and just like that she's clingin' to her life
Her husband rushes in the tiny room and through his tears
Whispers I love you, baby, please don't leave me now
You're my only life, and he bows his head and prays aloud, "This one thing I promise
If I could get just one more chance to be the man I should have been, I'll be that man"
She awakens to another world, stares into his grateful eyes of love
She smiles at him, he takes her hand
[Chorus]
Bobby Darwin's daughter used to ask her father
Where Santa Clause and babies and God came from
And as she's gotten older all those easy answers
Are somewhere between here and kingdom come
And in her darkest hour, Bobby Darwin's daughter
Never saw 'til now that she was wrong about where God came from
And that he's been here all along
