Says he used to drive a wagon Used to sleep in the back He played shows all across this country To Nova Scotia and back Says he knows every town and diner Every AM station between He's my rock and roll dad At least he used to be Now he's working nine to five And He does the best he can It's get the kids out the front door Get to work by nine AM Traded all those late nights And mornings sleeping in He's a working nine to five dad He drives a mini van He says theres nothing better then The wind in your hair A ten hour drive across the prairies To breath that mountain air Said he played for hundreds of thousands He could have made it big He's my rock and roll dad At least he used to be Now he's working nine to five And He does the best he can It's get the kids out the front door Get to work by nine AM Traded all those late nights And mornings sleeping in He's a working nine to five dad He drives a mini van Never thought he'd ever settle Or trade his traveling ways Now it's get dinner on the table And get to bed by eight You can call it giving in Or can call it fate Life will give you what you need That's something you can't change Now he's working nine to five And He does the best he can It's get the kids out the front door Get to work by nine AM Traded all those late nights And mornings sleeping in He's a working nine to five dad Well he's working nine to five And He does the best he can It's get the kids out the front door Get to work by nine AM Traded all those late nights And mornings sleeping in He's a working nine to five dad He drives a mini van
