Well my daddy he’s a river man,
supports his family, yes he does what he can.
With having to leave every other month, he’s got thirty
days of loneliness and thirty days of love.
And he says,

Chorus:
I will sing all my life,
And I will love ‘til the end of time
and I will laugh and I will cry,
and I’m gonna get by, I’m gonna get by, I’m gonna get by.

Well my momma she’s a strong woman,
raised four girls and she loves her husband.
Though the hard times came and the hard times left,
She always looked to me and said,

Chorus

I watched my sisters leave, one by one,
to move on in their life with me still at home.
And though I miss those times, I miss their love,
I will smile, I’ll look above And I will,

Chorus
