Dad Lyrics

He has spent most of my life

With a guitar in his hand

The church, the square, Fourth of July

Gigging with his band

Writing songs for Jesus Christ

I was too young to understand

The only times I've seen him cry

Were singing about Him

I just wanna write music like my dad

A tune half as good as those

On his yellow notepad

A simple song that brings you peace

And comfort when you're sad

I just wanna write one like my dad

I have spent most of my days

Trying to write songs like him

Learning from all of the ways

That he'd change up classic hymns

Looking back I'm still amazed

By the artist my dad's been

I'm so thankful that he raised

Me to go like a skim

I just wanna write music like my dad

A tune half as good as those

On his yellow notepad

A simple song that brings you peace

And comfort when you're sad

I just wanna write one like my dad

Before I shared my toys

Before I could share my thoughts

We always shared a middle name

But there was more cut from that cloth

Now we share a love of Christ

And we share a love of song

So as I grow into a man

Pray that I'm becoming more like John

More like John

I just wanna write music like my dad

A tune half as good as those

On his yellow notepad

A simple song that brings you peace

And comfort when you're sad

I just wanna write one

I just wanna write music like my dad

A tune half as good as those

On his yellow notepad

A simple song that brings you peace

And comfort when you're sad

I just wanna write one like my dad
