Father's Day Lyrics

I haven't always been a single man,

And I haven't always lived up here.

Along with all these other single men,

With a ring around the bath, and a cigarette butt in my beer,

And I haven't always been a lonely man,

And I haven't always lived alone.

And you know I haven't always drunk this much,

But hey before you cut me down,

Just try standing in my shoes,

'Cause I don't have to hear one word of this no.

(Chorus)

On any other day,

I might care what you say,

But every Saturday is Father's Day.

You might call it sad,

You might call me mad,

But I've got one- who calls me Dad.

And all the other blokes that live up here,

Know how to leave a man alone.

They're not a bad old bunch that live up here,

Ah but you know that it's not family and it's not home.

What of a darlin' wife that once I had?

Well I'm pleased to say that she still talks to me.

But I try not to think of what went wrong,

'Cause if I say that I was right,

She might say that she was right,

And the only rights I care about are visiting rights yeah.

We go where he wants to go.

We do what he wants to do.

I tell him everything I know,

'Cause I'd do anything to prove,

Yeah I'd do anything to prove.
