Lyrics Daddy How Do I - Jessie Ritter

The faucet's drippin' under the sink and it's giving me a headache
I've twist and turned that pipe about a hundred times
And I remember watching you in painted jeans and steel toed boots
Hanging Christmas lights, shining bright along the roof
There's so many things I wish you taught me how to do
How do I

Change a tire on the side of the road when the rain is pouring down
And my phones dead and I'm far from the interstate
Don't know anybody in this little town
Oh I know if you were here with me right now
You'd wipe these tears from my eyes
Daddy, how do I

You always chased the monsters from underneath my bed
But these days I see them in the corners of this house
They look like anger, look like stress
The shit I haven't dealt with yet
In the worst of times you somehow kept a level head
There's so many things I wish you taught me how to do
How do I

Fake a smile walking into work when they're about to walk me out
And I've got nothing to fall back on
And my world just keeps crashing down
Oh I know if you were here with me right now
You'd wipe these tears from my eyes
But Daddy, how do I

I'll be back tomorrow for another conversation
With another load of questions
I've been contemplating
How can you

Hear my voice lifted on a prayer all the way to heaven
Did I make the most of the little time that we were given
Oh I know if you were here with me right now
You'd wipe these tears from my eyes
But Daddy, how do I
Daddy, how do I
