Dad I was up before the sunrise the other day

Always reminds me of you when I gotta get up early

All those years of driving trucks

And taking care of three little ones

Don’t know how you did it

Ugh

You taught hard work how to work hard

Don’t you go nowhere soon, I still need you

It’s your blood in my veins

And it’s your family name

I got momma’s eyes and I think your nose

And you taught me everything I know

So don’t you go

Don’t you go

Don’t you go

And your smoke, it used to blow thru my bedroom window

From the garage where you’d go when you were stressed out

And I’d sneak in a time or two

Steal a rook from the pack of Du Maurier Blue

Thought I was being sneaky, but I think you knew

Cause you know me better than I know myself

So don’t you go nowhere soon, I still need you

It’s your blood in my veins

And it’s your family name

I got momma’s eyes and I think your nose

You taught me everything I know

So don’t you go

Don’t you go

And come April, I’ll have a little one of my own

And just like me, they’ll be afraid of the whole world and everything in it

How do I show them they can do it

How do I be the dad that you were

Don’t you go

Don’t you go

Don’t you go
