John Hiatt - Your Dad Did Lyrics
Well the sun comes up and you stare your cup of coffee, yupRight through the kitchen floorYou feel like hell so you might as well get out and sellYour smart ass door to doorAnd the mrs. wears her robe slightly undoneAs your daughter dumps her oatmeal on your sonAnd you keep it hidJust like your didSo you go to work just to watch some jerkPick up the perksYou were in line to getAnd the guy that hired you just got fired,Your jobs expiredThey just aint told you yetSo you go and buy a brand new set of wheelsTo show your family just how great you feelActing like a kidJust like your dad didAndBridge:Youre a chip off the old blockWhy does it come as such a shockThat every road up which you rockYour dad already didYeah youve seen the old mans ghostCome back as creamed chipped beef on toastNow if you dont get your slice of the roastYoure gonna flip your lidJust like your dad did, just like your dad didWell the day was long now, suppers onThe thrill is goneBut somethings taking placeYeah the food is cold and your wife feels oldBut all hands foldAs the two year old says graceShe says help the starving children to get wellBut let my brothers hamster burn in hellYou love your wife and kidsJust like your dad did
