Lyrics
I had a dad
Big and strong
I turned around
I found my daddy gone
He was the one
Made me what I am today
It's up to me now
My daddy has gone away, that's right
Well, I spoke to the mountain
I listened to the sea
They both told me that fountain
Was the best that you can be
My daddy's hand it growed
Slow to the lickin'
Sonny boy
Grow to whip him
If you see my dad tell him my brothers all gone mad
They're beating on each other
I walked around even tried to call
Got that funny feeling he's not there at all
If you see my dad tell him my brothers all gone mad
They're beating on each other
I walked around even tried to call
What that funny feeling, God is dead, he's not there at all
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
I had a dad
He was big and strong
But when I turned around
I found my daddy gone
Yes, he was the one
Who made me what I am today
It's up to me now
My daddy has gone away, gone away
Gone away, has gone away
Yes, I said I had a, had a dad
I said I had a, had a dad
I said I had, yeah, yeah, yeah
