Hell make you mow the grass and do it for free
When you think youre done, hell say, Rake the leaves
Hell say it builds character, but its 90 degrees
Youll cuss him under your breath
He wont let you quit your football team
Or hang with the kid who lives down the street
Cause he heard he smokes dope and got holes in his jeans
Lookin back, he was right, I guess
Things dads do
Hell act like he does when he dont have a clue
And I know it seems
Like hes flyin by the seat of his out of style jeans
Youll get embarrassed when he ruins your cool
When he pulls out his camera on your first day of school
And thats just a few things dads do
Hell 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, hell say, Son, tell you what
Lets talk it out over a beer
And when you get married, hell be your best man
And pay for the booze and a bad cover band
And hell give a long speech and say this was Gods plan
And try not to cry, but he will
Things dads do
Give you his old recliner for your new living room
And hell call too much
And out of the blue without asking to show up
Hell give you advice about your career
Complain and ask why your fridge is full of weird beer
Thats just a few things dads do
Hell sit in the waitin room, chewin Red Man
Til the doctor comes out and says, Yall, come on in
Hell say she looks perfect, then shake your hand
And say, Now youll understand
Things dads do dads do
Youll think its crazy until youre one too
And youll lose your mind your mind
In a couple years slipin just three months time
But next thing you know, ones five and ones three
And ones almost one and shes cuttin her teeth
And youre in his shoes
And youre startin to
Do more than a few things dads do
Yeah, things dads do
Things dads do
