Father, father, tell me where have you been? Its been hell not having you here I've been missing you so bad and you don't seem to care When I go to sleep at night, you're not there When I go to sleep at night, do you care? Do you even miss us? Your bottle's your mistress I need to know, I need to know Why are you walking away? Was it something I did? Did I make a mistake cause I'm trying to deal with the pain I don't understand this, is this how it is? I will try to understand Father, father, tell me where are you now? Its been hell not having you Last thing I heard, you were fed up, you're skipping town With no note telling where When I go to sleep at night, you're not there When I go to sleep at night, do you care? I need to know, I need to know Why are you walking away? Was it something I did? Did I make a mistake cause I'm trying to deal with the pain I don't understand this, is this how it is? Why are you running away? I don't understand this, is this how it is? Why are you running away? Tell me please, tell me please, I need to know Is this what you call a family? Is this what you call a family? Is this what you call a family? Is this what you call a family? Spent seven years wishing that you'd drop the line But I carry the thought along with you in my mind But is this what you call a family? Is this what you call a family? Family! Why are you walking away? Was it something I did? Did I make a mistake cause I'm trying to deal with the pain I don't understand this, is this how it is? Why are you running away? I don't understand this, is this how it is? Why are you running away? Tell me please, tell me please, I need to know Is this what you call a family? Is this what you call a family? Is this what you call a family? Is this what you call a family?
