Daddy's Gone
“Daddy's Gone” is a rock song by American musician Tim Heidecker, then known as New Heidecker. It was first performed on November 26, 2025, during the funeral of G. Amato, Tim's adopted father, who had died eight days prior. The music video was then released onto HEI Network on December 3, 2025. The song received a lukewarm reception at the funeral, though Tim noted the mix was not yet done.
Lyrics
Daddy's gone up to heaven
I can see him waving goodbye
Flying past those snow white clouds
Past the moon, up into that beautiful sky
Daddy's gone up to heaven
Breaks my heart to see him
Go
But he's up in paradise
Sitting with God, oh this I
Knowwwwwww no no no no no no no no no
G ain't living here
Suddenly I'm on my own
Can't stop crying
Now I got no home
But I know he's looking down on me
I know that he is proud of me
G-O-N-E
I'm talking G-O-N-E
G. Amato gone
G-O-N-E
G-O-N-E (Woah woah woah woah woah woah)
Bye bye, bye bye daddy goodbye
Bye bye, bye bye daddy bye
WHY! WHY'D YOU HAVE TO DIE?
WHY! WHY'D YOU HAVE TO DIE?
WHY! WHY'D YOU HAVE TO DIE?
WHY! WHY'D YOU HAVE TO DIE? (I wanna know-oh, I wanna know-oh-oh)
WHY! WHY'D YOU HAVE TO DIE? (I wanna know, I wanna know-oh-oh)
WHY! WHY'D YOU HAVE TO DIE? (I wanna know, I wanna know-oh-oh)
WHY! WHY'D YOU HAVE TO DIE-IE-IE-IE-IE-IE?
