Dad Gone Thing

Verse 1

Jack of all trade

Master of everything

Lived a life with a spice

For the party he brings

Pre-Chorus

He could out-pray the Pope

More junk, more **

He was my missin' link

Pour him another drink

Chorus

He was always there

To hear the church-bells ringing

Front row, right pew

So that he could be seen

Verse 2

I was with him through all of this

But a few things that he missed

He didn't teach me a dad gone thing

But how to sing

He charmed all the ladies

They would watch his show

He made art from his heart

He could make a tear flow

Pre-Chorus

He could out-play the devil

Out-smart him too

If you would hear him croon his tune

He would blow your mind too

Chorus

He was always there

To hear the church-bells ringing

Front row, right pew

They might call him to do his thing

Verse 3

He spun around in the pulpit

Flashin' a diamond ring

He didn't teach me a dad gone thing

But how to sing

He charmed all the ladies

They would watch his show

He was smart, he was sharp

But didn't wanna let go

Pre-Chorus

He could out-play the devil

But why did he play me

I stood right in front of his stage

But still I was hard to see

Chorus

He was always there

To hear the church-bells ringing

Front row, right pew

So that he could be seen

Verse 4

He would trade his only son

For the life that he could get

So the son went to the father's church

Stepped into the pulpit

Laying his head back, and opened his mouth

The church jumped up like spring

You didn't teach me a dad gone thing

But how to sing

Outro

And I won't sing my song

Sing my song

Heavenly Father

Can you hear my plea

Heavenly Father, now, now, yeah

Hey now, Heavenly Father

Can you hear my song

Can you hear my song
