Deadbeat Dad

Anvil

A failed marriage left the mother to care

Love is gone but the kid s are still there

A broken home has become commonplace

The look of anguish on the child s face

Gone and lost



Being there just for conception

Made a promise that was all a deception

Gone and lost



[Chorus 1:]

Deadbeat dad, support he won t pay

Deadbeat dad always staying away

Deadbeat dad in disgrace and despair

Deadbeat dad, to the kids it s not fair



Biology can only go so far

When your gone it leaves a scar

Children learn to live without

Being there is what it s all about

Gone and lost

Pay the cost



[Chorus 2:]

Deadbeat dad lost in a haze

Deadbeat dad set in his ways

Deadbeat dad, a loser at heart

Deadbeat dad won t do his part



Deadbeat dad

Deadbeat dad

Deadbeat dad

Deadbeat dad



[Chorus 1]

Deadbeat dad

Deadbeat dad

Deadbeat dad

Deadbeat dad

Deadbeat dad

Deadbeat dad

Deadbeat dad
