I knew someday you'd find out about San Quentin And your heart would break And your faith would go away But it's time you knew the truth about your papa I've not always been the man I am today It's true I've done some time in prison Let me be the first to tell you I was wrong That was back when I was wild Back when I was just a child Back before your mama came along So don't put me down Don't push me away I'm still your daddy baby, baby anyway Don't put me down Don't push me away Daddy needs some family love today
