Daddy, oh daddy, don't make me go
I can't bear another month out on the road
And it feels like free-falling, I don't have a place to call home
So daddy, oh daddy, don't make me go
Mama, oh mama, don't let me down
I've been bleeding, I've been needing solid ground
I've been hugging the toilet seat, on my knees praying aloud
So mama, oh mama, don't let me down
Every year's like a raceway, I've ended it off on my own
Everything that I love's always taken from me, I don't know
Lover, oh lover, don't make me cry
I'd be happy, well I could be, by your side
And I'm not good for loving, I've never been, oh but I try
So lover, oh lover, don't make me cry
Every year's like a raceway, I've ended it off on my own
Everything that I love's always taken from me, I don't know
Fortune, oh fortune, don't let me die
Every city says I'm pretty, oh but they lie
There's just so much to give and so much to live - so little time
So oh, my friends, oh my lover - oh my father, oh my mother
And oh, fortune, you're my saviour every time
Oh lover, love me a home
And daddy, don't make me go
