Momma walked out when I was four
My first mem’ry was her slammin the door
Daddy drank whiskey at the bar each night
And always managed to pick a fight

Now I wanna be a good daddy
And be good to my wife
But I’m afraid the example set for me
Won’t lead me to a better life

I throw beer cans at the wall, I don’t care at all
My baby’s cryin’ oh he’s so small
But it don’t change the fact that I won’t react
I stare at the TV cause I’m so out of whack
Well I guess I got a good family
Although sometimes I hit the ceiling
Cause I got a roof over their heads and they got warm beds
And I ain’t leaving 

I saw my brother the other day
He’s gettin’ a divorce
He asked me for some cash
And I said of course

My wife said she needed 
The money for the baby
But that little tyke is doing alright
I think my girl’s a little crazy

TAG: Even if that ain’t such a good thing
I Ain’t Leaving

(Repeat chorus)
