["pete gave me the line 'daddy, where have your shoes been' -- and i wrote the rest trying to put myself in his place as a kid. pete calls it 'seasoned glove.'"]

This one is for my daddy
Oh, you know me, daddy
Where you been hiding lately?
I ain't seen you lately
I miss your shoes on the doorstep
Whose doorsteps they on now?
I'm not trying to start a fight, here
I don't want to fight you
Is this my fault?
Is this my fault?

Well, daddy, where have your shoes been?
Is this my fault, some kind of son's sin?
You've been gone for such a long time
You've been gone at just the wrong time

I know you like the ladies
Oh, you're a fool for the ladies
What about your home and your babies?
Well, i ain't a baby
I'm tired of watching the cars pass
I fell asleep at my window
Is this some sort of punishment?
Did i hurt your feelings?
I miss your shoes on the doorstep
Please be there when i get home

Oh daddy, where have your shoes been?
Is this my fault, some kind of son's sin
You've been gone for such a long time
You've been gone at just the wrong time
Hey daddy, please tell me
Hey daddy, where have your shoes been?
Please say that this is not my fault
Something i did
Some kind of son's sin
You've been gone for such a long time
You've been gone at just the wrong time
Hey daddy, please tell me

Slept on my glove last night
Waited all day to see if you'd make it home
Today was our day
Or have you forgotten?

Hey daddy, i'm just a kid
Take a minute, think about what you did
I'm starting to feel a bit cheated
Come home and make me feel needed
Please come home and make me feel needed
Hey daddy, please tell me
Oh daddy, where have your shoes been?
Please say that this is not my fault
Something i did
Some kind of son's sin
You've been gone for such a long time
You've been gone at just the wrong time
Hey daddy, please tell me
