Dear Ol' Dad

[Verse 1]

Come now, and listen babe

I got a reason why I behave

Like a child with the light in his eyes

When you're naked on a cold winter night

I'm like a pigeon that's spreading his wings

To fly away to better things

Like a hammer that has made a dent

In every little, single cent you've spent

[Chorus]

Said, oh God, you've got to help me, a little bit

You've got, you've gotta have a relief valve for me, yeah

[Verse 2]

Now, I know I'm always right

That's a thought that never even crossed my mind

Don't touch me there, I gotta be pure

So smack that hand, and read this verse

So, I wrecked your life, what the heck?

My new found faith will pay that check

[Bridge]

This life's took a toll on my soul

This life's took a toll on my soul

[Solo]

[Verse 3]

Now this is me, and that's my song

And I guess you can see we don't get along

I've shut the doors on what we had

So, now, she can sleep with dear ol' dad

My eyes are dry and my hands are clean

And I can't believe all the things I've seen

[Chorus]

Said, oh God, you've got to help me, a little bit

You've got, you've gotta have a relief valve for me, yeah

I said, oh my God

She's ridin' on her own

Sha-da-li

Da-da-li

Da-da-li

Da-da-li

He don't

I don't

I know

I know too

To be together with a backbone on, hon

She lookin' good, a lookin' good

A lookin' good a-with a backbone on, hon

Said you're lookin-lookin-lookin good with a ???

One more

And I'll say no more

I, I

I said, I'm gonna keep the dog
