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
