Dad Gone Thing

[Verse 1]

Jack of all trade

Master of everything

Lived a life with a spice

For the party he brings

[Pre-Chorus]

He could out-pray the Pope

More junk, more dope

He was my missin' link

Pour him another drink

[Chorus]

He was always there

To hear the church-bells ringing

Front row, right pew

So that he could be seen

[Verse 2]

I was with him through all of this

But a few things that he missed

He didn't teach me a dad gone thing

But how to sing

He charmed all the ladies

They would watch his show

He made art from his heart

He could make a tear flow

[Pre-Chorus]

He could out-play the devil

Out-smart him too

If you would hear him croon his tune

He would blow your mind too

[Chorus]

He was always there

To hear the church-bells ringing

Front row, right pew

They might call him to do his thing

[Verse 3]

He spun around in the pulpit

Flashin' a diamond ring

He didn't teach me a dad gone thing

But how to sing

He charmed all the ladies

They would watch his show

He was smart, he was sharp

But didn't wanna let go

[Pre-Chorus]

He could out-play the devil

But why did he play me?

I stood right in front of his stage

But still I was hard to see

[Chorus]

He was always there

To hear the church-bells ringing

Front row, right pew

So that he could be seen

[Verse 4]

He would trade his only son

For the life that he could get

So the son went to the father's church

Stepped into the pulpit

Laying his head back, and opened his mouth

The church jumped up like spring

You didn't teach me a dad gone thing

But how to sing

[Outro]

And I won't sing my song

(Heavenly Father)

Sing my song

(Heavenly Father)

Heavenly Father

(Heavenly Father)

Can you hear my plea?

(Heavenly Father)

Heavenly Father, now, now, yeah

(Heavenly Father, Heavenly Father)

Hey now, Heavenly Father

(Heavenly Father)

Can you hear my song?

(Heavenly Father)

Can you hear my song?
