Hungry Eyes, Merle Haggard

A canvas covered cabin in a crowded labour camp,
Stand out in this memory I revive,
‘Cause my daddy raised a family there, with two hard working hands,
And tried to feed my mama’s hungry eyes.

Friday nite–stayin up late.

Besides can’t leave my post until a fellow 2’er spells me.

See, Team 2 works together…as a TEAM

and when daddy comes home he never gets no rest
‘cause she’s playing all night
and the music’s alright *

I Don’t Call Him Daddy, Doug Supernaw

He said, “I don’t call him daddy
Though he takes care of things
When you pick me up on Friday
Are you gonna bring me anything
Oh, don’t worry, dad, you know
No matter what we do
I don’t call him daddy
He’ll never be like you.”

Team 2

Daddy, daddy if you could only see
Just how good he’s been treating me
You’d give us your blessing right now
'Cuz we are in loooove

Daddy’s hands
Were soft and kind when I was crying
Daddy’s hands
Were hard as steel when I’d done wrong

Don’t cry daddy

Oh, daddy, please don’t cry

Well, she seemed all right by dawn’s early light
Though she looked a little worried and weak
She tried to pretend he wasn’t drinking again
But Daddy left the proof on her cheek

Cat’s in the Cradle, Harry Chapin

And the cat’s in the cradle and the silver spoon,
Little boy blue and the man in the moon.

“I don’t know when, But we’ll get together then.
You know we’ll have a good time then.”
