Lyrics Dad's Song - Gunnar & the Grizzly Boys

Dad's Song

It seems like these days they all know my name
Expect me to remember yours and I prolly won’t do the same
Back stage they think I need cocaine
Donʼt knock it 'til you tried it boy I reply no thanks
But I ain’t gonna stop you if you twist one up
Kinda like Willie Nelson says it’s better when you tie on a buzz
But what gets me high is driving here tonight
And hitting that stage sweating off my ass from the heat of them lights
So stop let it hold while the Grizzly Girls pose
Get the whole damn place a spinning out of control
With a little bit of south and a little bit of north
A little Ted Nugent and a little bit of George
These four wheels are home living out of my van
'Cause when I was a boy I said dad
I want to be in a band
You three in the front yeah them what’s up
Y’all been to the last four shows I’m telling you man that’s love
And every word I sing you all sing along
And its a strangely safe feeling 'cause these are my songs
And I ain’t gonna stop 'cause I’m country tough
Yeah in order for that high road to get smooth, it’s gotta start rough
My babies crying saying please come home
Well baby I’m a rambling man these streets are all I’ve known
So stop let it hold while the Grizzly Girls pose
Get the whole damn place a spinning out of control
With a little bit of south and a little bit of north
A little Ted Nugent and a little bit of George
These four wheels are home living out of my van
'Cause when I was a boy I said dad
I want to be in a band
Son I’m writing you this from the heart
Go make you a living playing that old guitar
Donʼt you forget you was raised on a farm
Seems like you’re spinning and spinning like the wheels on a runaway car
But I need you to know that you got my love
Yeah that’s something that a father and a son donʼt remember enough
And what you’re doing son it makes me proud
'Cause son you’re a Gunnar you were born to kill that crowd
So stop let it hold while the Grizzly Girls pose
Get the whole damn place a spinning out of control
With a little bit of south and a little bit of north
A little Ted Nugent and a little bit of George
These four wheels are home living out of my van
'Cause when I was a boy I said dad
I want to be in a band
I want to be in a band
