Your Dad Did Lyrics - John Hiatt

Well the sun comes up and you stare your cup of coffee, yup 

Right through the kitchen floor 

You feel like hell so you might as well get out and sell 

Your smart ass door to door 

And the Mrs. wears her robe slightly undone 

As your daughter dumps her oatmeal on your son 

And you keep it hid 

Just like your did 

So you go to work just to watch some jerk 

Pick up the perks 

You were in line to get 

And the guy that hired you just got fired, 

Your job's expired 

They just ain't told you yet

Songs You Love If You Love Nerds 

Linkin Park Honors Chester Bennington In The Emotional Video For 'One More Light' 

Watch Beck's Heroic New Music Video For 'Up All Night' 

So you go and buy a brand new set of wheels 

To show your family just how great you feel 

Acting like a kid 

Just like your dad did 

And 

BRIDGE: 

You're a chip off the old block 

Why does it come as such a shock 

That every road up which you rock 

Your dad already did 

Yeah you've seen the old man's ghost 

Come back as creamed chipped beef on toast 

Now if you dont get your slice of the roast 

You're gonna flip your lid 

Just like your dad did, just like your dad did

Well the day was long now, supper's on 

The thrill is gone 

But something's taking place 

Yeah the food is cold and your wife feels old 

But all hands fold 

As the two year old says grace 

She says help the starving children to get well 

But let my brother's hamster burn in hell 

You love your wife and kids 

Just like your dad did
