Dakota Lyrics

Terry Lee Hale Dakota

Daddy's come home drunk today
I saw it how he's walking
As the cabby drove away
But we've done this lots before
Pull the shades and lock the door
When daddy's home from drinking
Pretend everything's okay
Just gotta be quiet and play

Daddy's come home drunk today
So I don't have to go to school
Get to watch TV all day
Cause we've done this lots before
Pull the shades and lock the door
He lays in his room and he's talking
And I'm not really bored
I tiptoe across the floor

Daddy's come home drunk today
And I laid awake all night
Praying he would be all right
But we've done this lots before
Pull the shades and lock the door
I'll call the school and say
That we are all okay

Cause we've done this lots before
Pull the shades and lock the door
And I'll sit quiet and play
Be good for my daddy today
Extra good for my daddy today
