Things Dads Do

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 ninety 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 d**e

And got holes in his jeans

Lookin' back he was right I guess

Things dads do

He'll act like he does when he don't have a clue

And I know it seems

Like he's flyin' by the seat of his outta 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 things dads do

He'll hand 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

And 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 advice about your career

Complain and ask why your fridge is full of weird beer

That's just a few things dads do

Oh woah woah

He'll sit in the waitin' room chewin' red man

'Til the doctor comes out and says y'all come on in

He'll say she looks perfect then shake your hand

Say now you'll understand

Things dads do dad's do

You'll think it's crazy until you're one too

And you'll lose your mind your mind

In a couple years sleepin' just three months time

But 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

Yeah things dads do

Things dads do
