Daddy Don'T

Knocked up knocked down Beat up and pushed around Things ain’t gonna be, gonna be The way they used to be Because I got an equalizer I’ll knock you in the head I got a tranquilizer that’ll put you Straight to bed So daddy don’t Daddy do Daddy don’t you do the things You use to do Knocked up knocked down Beat up and pushed around Things ain’t gonna be, gonna be The way they used to be You can kiss my ass And the trailer good bye Mama said you was less that Trailer trash So daddy don’t Daddy do Daddy don’t you do the things You use to do Sheriff come round and says Your bound to die if you keep it up So save yourself and don’t come around What is done is done But I swear if I see you again It will be at the end of pointed gun So daddy don’t Daddy do Daddy don’t you do the things You use to do

ooh la la. A POWERFUL piece on abuse. I could see this sung as a country song. I like how you played on the pregnancy theme with Knocked up!!

Thanks Andrea. My intention is to make it into a country song and shop it around. I still need to clean it up a bit, but the general idea is there. ~Kilmer
