I am a deadbeat dad

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 is the deadbeat dad

Being there just for conception
Made a promise that was all a deception
Gone and lost is the deadbeat dad



Deadbeat dad, support  I won t pay
Deadbeat dad always staying away
Deadbeat dad is a disgrace and despair
So their mother says
Deadbeat dad, to the kids it' s not fair

Biology can only go so far
So their mother says
When you are gone it leaves a scar
Children learn to live without You
Being there is what it s all about
Gone and lost is the deadbeat dad



Deadbeat dad lost in a haze
Deadbeat dad set in his ways
Deadbeat dad, a loser at heart
So  their mother says
Deadbeat dad won t do his part
I'm that deadbeat dad
And  I have a good  reason for it!
