Daddy's Home (song)

"Daddy's Home" is a song by American doo-wop group Shep and the Limelites. The song was written by the three members of the band, James "Shep" Sheppard (1935–1970), Clarence Bassett (1936–2005) and Charles Baskerville. The group recorded the original version of "Daddy's Home" on February 1, 1961, and it was released on Hull Records in March 1961 with the B-side being "This I Know". The song is considered a sequel to the Heartbeats' song "A Thousand Miles Away", with the closing line in the coda being: "I'm not a thousand miles away".
