Dad

We’d pile in the backseat with nowhere to be

Just rolling along, the whole family

You were patient and wise, with a joke on your tongue

Making us laugh when the evening was young

Just hanging out, watching the miles roll by

Underneath a wide open country sky

You were a family man, steady and true

Loved Mom to pieces, the best thing you knew

Called your daughters your pets, and your son was your chum

Your very best friend till your time here was done

We love you so much since you had to go away

And Dad, we still think about you every day

I still see the way that you looked at our mother

A devotion so deep, you didn't need any other

You loved her to pieces, it was plain as the day

In every small touch and the words you would say

You were caring and gentle, a rock for us all

Ready to catch us whenever we'd fall

'Cause you were a family man, steady and true

Loved Mom to pieces, the best thing you knew

Called your daughters your pets, and your son was your chum

Your very best friend till your time here was done

We love you so much since you had to go away

And Dad, we still think about you every day

The house is more quiet since you passed away

But the echoes of laughter still linger today

You gave us a foundation so heavy and strong

And right by our side is where you still belong

Now the years keep on turning, the road stretches on

But the light that you gave us is never quite gone

We sit all together and share a good cry

And remember the man who was funny and wise

You were a family man, steady and true

Loved Mom to pieces, the best thing you knew

Called your daughters your pets, and your son was your chum

Your very best friend till your time here was done

We love you so much since you had to go away

Yeah Dad, we still think about you every day

We think about you every day
