Deadbeat Dad Lyrics - Anvil

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
