Dad Lyrics

He worked four jobs at the same time

That may sound insane

He'd eat a bag lunch

Always drove old cars

And never complained

Raising four kids you do what it takes

Seven days a week you never get breaks

I owe everything to my dad

He'd come home for dinner then head out again

To work part time jobs every night until ten

Each month he served his country in the army reserve

He gave us more love than we ever deserved

He built rooms in our attic he could fix anything

He built our tree house and a perfect rope swing

Each month he'd pay the bills hardly anything was left

We never went hungry we always felt blessed

He worked four jobs at the same time

That may sound insane

He'd eat a bag lunch

Always drove old cars

And never complained

Raising four kids you do what it takes

Seven days a week you never get breaks

I owe everything to my dad

With his youngest still in college he just didn't seem right

DDT had found his brain he put up a fight

He never got to live their retirement dreams

Mom was soon a widow as sad as it seems

His sons and daughter now have raised kids of their own

If they did things right it's because they'd been shown

We never understand what our parents go through

Until we walk in their shoes and somehow know what to do

He worked four jobs at the same time

That may sound insane

He'd eat a bag lunch

Always drove old cars

And never complained

Raising four kids you do what it takes

Seven days a week you never get breaks

I owe everything to my dad
