He´ll make you mow the grass and do it for free When you think you´re done he´ll say rake the leaves He´ll say it builds character but it´s 90 degrees
You´ll cuss him under your breath He won´t let you quit your football team Or hang with the kid who lives down the street ´Cause he heard he smokes dope and got holes in his jeans Lookin´ back he was right, I guess Things dads do
Act like he does when he don´t have a clue and I know it seems Like he´s flying by the seat of his outa style jeans You´ll get embarrassed when he ruins your cool When he pulls out his camera on your first day of school And that´s just a few of things dads do
He hands you the keys to a hand-me-down truck
And take ´em right back when you tear it up On your first broken heart he´ll say son, tell you what Let´s talk it out over a beer And when you get married he´ll be your best man Pay for the booze and a bad cover band And he´ll give a long speech and say this was God´s plan And try not to cry but he will Things dads do
Give you his old recliner for your new living room and he´ll call too much And out of the blue without asking to show up he´ll give you advise about your career And complain and ask why your fridge is full of weird beer That´s just a few of things dads do
Things dads do
Sit in the waitin´ room chewing Red Man ´Till the doctor comes out and says y´all come on in He´ll say she looks perfect then and shake your hand and say now you´ll understand Things dads do
You´ll think it´s crazy ´till you´re one too and you´ll lose your mind In a couple of years sleepin´ just three months time Next thing you know one´s five and one´s three And one´s almost one and she´s cuttin´ her teeth And you´re in his shoes And you´re startin´ to do more than a few things dads do
