Dad Song Lyrics

Was out one morning with my dad

His mumbling and grumbling was making me laugh

All his silly reasons to be mad

I know no one worked as hard as you

My dusty old dad with holes in his shoes

Hands and knees in thick concrete

Just so me and my mom and sisters could eat

It's ok to be sad and it's ok to be mad

But I hate to see your darkness hang around

I was raised in a world that's mostly cruel

You lecture me hoping you didn't raise a fool

And I'll sit and listen knowing it's out of love

Let me tell you I think you did a pretty good job

I learned by example what's right and what's wrong

I see you in your Converse shoes

Smoking your cigarette and speaking the blues

Tappin' your toes right out of line

You speak your truth and I'll speak mine

You speak your truth and I'll speak mine

Oh I'll speak mine
