The first two verses are the first person point of view of Patty's father. He must have been abusive in some way. The third verse is clearly from Patty's point of view and how she regrets the loss of the chance to be closer. She missed her chance to heal the relationship, maybe she was too young.
BTW, if you have access to both listen closely to the Dixie Chicks version and either of Patty's. You'll very clearly hear the difference between a performer and an artist. There is whole level of talent between them.
Has nothing to do with her father. All three verses are from the point of view of a ghost, a man who has all kinds of regrets about how he didn't live the way he should have. Patty's dad is a cool dude.
