Hey Dad
[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
