Hey Dad by Joe Iconis Lyrics
[JUAN]
Hey dad, how you been?
Is that gin?
You see that Raider's game?
Hey dad, are you well?
What's that smell?
Guess things are the same
You still with what's-her-name?
That's a shame
Hey dad, been a while
What's in the vial?
Haven't seen you since the fall
Hey dad, watch your step
How's Johnny Depp?
Your grandson's gettin' tall
You'd know that if you visited at all
Or even call
No, don't bother getting up from the chair
Stay right there
No need to rearrange
No I'll come to you
Always do
Some things never change
Hey dad, just swung by
On the fly
'Cause somethin's on my mind
Don't want to cause a fuss
Just discuss
And put it all behind
And put it all behind
See I saw you on T.V
Yesterday
Heard you say
Your life is total shit
And I
Must admit
That stung a bit
But hey, I'm used to it
For a man who uses his words
As much as you use your words
You'd think that you'd choose your words
More carefully
For a man who uses his words
As much as you use your words
You'd think that you'd choose your words
More carefully
And although you don't shout it from rooftops
And although it's a subject of great debate
I know that you love me
But it's the only thing
That you can't articulate
For a man who uses his words
As much as you use your words
You'd think that you'd choose your words
More carefully
While teaching me
About guns and peacocks and drugs
And loyalty
And life
America and drugs
And legacy
All lessons I'm glad you told
Even if the delivery was pretty freakin' cold
It's fine, dad, you're fine
Problem's mine
I think my speech is done
Just one thing I ask
There's only one
Just be there for my son
Be there for my son
Be the man you've got the tools to be
Do it for him
Do it for me
So dad, this was fun
Nice to say hello
Now dad, gotta run
We are gonna go
Just have those few things on my mind
And I wanted you to know
Hey dad, how you been?
Is that gin?
You see that Raider's game?
Hey dad, are you well?
What's that smell?
Guess things are the same
You still with what's-her-name?
That's a shame
Hey dad, been a while
What's in the vial?
Haven't seen you since the fall
Hey dad, watch your step

You'd know that if you visited at all

No, don't bother getting up from the chair
Stay right there

Hey dad, just swung by
On the fly
'Cause somethin's on my mind
Don't want to cause a fuss

And put it all behind
And put it all behind
See I saw you on T.V
