Heidecker & Wood - A Song For My Father lyrics

Well he's shining his shoes And he's combing his black hair He don't even know I'm there Watching him get dressed And he's reading the morning news Having his cup of brew I only see him When I'm going to bed But he's still my dad Well he works in the big big town And he's bossing everybody around Every once in a while I come see him When we're shopping for clothes to wear Every once in a while I stop and see him When I go downtown to cut my hair When he comes home he disappears Been acting like that for years I only see him when I'm going to bed But he's still my dad Sometimes he seems so tall Not like a dad at all And I get so scared Mama come and save me from him Mama come and save me from him And on a Saturday He wants to go out and play We throw the ball around And he lets me tackle him to the ground Then he turns on the grill And he cooks us some food Then he puts me to sleep My number one enemy I only see him when I'm going to bed But he's still my dad Oh he's still my dad Oh he's still my dad
