Little Tommy's waitin' for someone to see That he's left his light on His Mamma cries herself to sleep in front of the old T.V. Since the man of the house is gone And Tommy sits and dreams about how happy they will be When Daddy comes back home He doesn't know he never will come home And he'll be one more child fathered on the phone One more child growin' up half alone in a broken home You see Tommy's Mom got married when she was seventeen To a boy who was dark and tall She was young and she was willin' and she kept the house clean So he married her in the fall They stuck it out five years before he finally went his way Leavin' Tommy all confused Daddy said he'd never go away And now Tommy's gettin' more angry every day Tell me who's gonna pay the defaulted loans on our broken homes With so many of us giving up When it's hard to give we just give up Letras de cancionesAnd the kids wind up like prisoners of war Well, I'm not saying I know how But we've got to set it right somehow Before we wind up paying even more 'Cause some of us get more than just alone We get broken in our broken homes Now Tommy's all grown up or at least he looks that way The very image of his dear old Dad He's got kids of his own - he's gonna raise them the right way Be the father he never had But somehow at year five his eyes keep lookin' towards the door He's got to get out now Or live and die in a domestic war Soon he's one more father callin' on the phone One more man more than less alone in a broken home Now little Tommy's waitin' for someone to see That he's left his light on......
