FM Radio Lyrics
I heard about, i heard about your daddy got sick.
Drove down to the river to die alone.
Seven days, seven days till they found him all.
Wrapped up in a blanket on the boat.
So we put him in the ground.
Down, Down, Down.
Your momma said "stay strong, don't cry."
So that is what you did.
Years later, years down later down the road.
On a bus with your FM Radio, half drunk, a cigarrette
hangin out.
What happened to your lonely soul? Crying out.
What happened to your lonely soul? Screamin out.
You said try and lose.
You said try and lose.
Everything you've known.
Everything you've seen.
Everything you've loved.
Everything you've been
And everywhere you walk
Every Song you sing
Everytime you wake
it haunts you once again.
My Daddy ain't comin home
Daddy ain't comin home
My Daddy ain't comin home
Daddy ain't comin home
My Daddy ain't comin home.
Drove down to the river to die alone.
Seven days, seven days till they found him all.
Wrapped up in a blanket on the boat.
So we put him in the ground.
Down, Down, Down.
Your momma said "stay strong, don't cry."
So that is what you did.
On a bus with your FM Radio, half drunk, a cigarrette
hangin out.
What happened to your lonely soul? Crying out.
What happened to your lonely soul? Screamin out.
You said try and lose.
You said try and lose.
Everything you've known.
Everything you've seen.
Everything you've loved.
Everything you've been
And everywhere you walk
Every Song you sing
Everytime you wake
it haunts you once again.
My Daddy ain't comin home
Daddy ain't comin home
My Daddy ain't comin home
Daddy ain't comin home
My Daddy ain't comin home.

this song is so sad. its about his friend who lost her dad while going through adolescence. if you think about what she mustve gone through, its really sad. :(
this song is pretty self-explanitory, it's obviously about someone losing their father when they were young. really sad song, but beautiful along with all of his other songs. :)
This is a really beautiful story song. It really creates a picture in my mind- I can see it play out!
Yeah this is a very very sad song, but it is such a well written song too. It tells a story about a person losing their father, and I love how he never really assigns a gender to this "you" so you feel like this person. It's almost as if he's talking to you, and you can feel the same thing this person in the song feels. Every time I listen to this song it gives me chills!
