A failed marriage left the mother to care
love is gone but the kid s are still there
a broken home has become commonplace
the look of anguish on the child s face
gone and lost
Being there just for conception
made a promise that was all a deception
gone and lost
[chorus 1:]
deadbeat dad, support he won t pay
deadbeat dad always staying away
deadbeat dad in disgrace and despair
deadbeat dad, to the kids it s not fair
Biology can only go so far
when your gone it leaves a scar
children learn to live without
being there is what it s all about
gone and lost
pay the cost
[chorus 2:]
deadbeat dad lost in a haze
deadbeat dad set in his ways
deadbeat dad, a loser at heart
deadbeat dad won t do his part
Deadbeat dad
deadbeat dad
deadbeat dad
deadbeat dad
[chorus 1]
deadbeat dad
deadbeat dad
deadbeat dad
deadbeat dad
deadbeat dad
deadbeat dad
deadbeat dad
