Be Your Own Daddy
Once upon a time not long ago
People took responsibility
I know it sounds weird; I can't believe it myself
But it just might be what you need
Someone told me this years ago
And it's helped me in many ways
It sounds weird; it sounds strange
I don't care anyway
And I've been saying it every day
You gotta be your own daddy
You gotta be your own daddy
You gotta be your own daddy
Yeah you do
Losin' your job that you needed the most
And rent's comin' up next week
Now's not the time to sit and complain
It's time to get on your feet
Son of a bitch if it happens again
I swear I'm gonna find a bridge
You need to know that you're not alone
And you can try to do what I did
You gotta be your own daddy
You gotta be your own daddy
You gotta be your own daddy
Yeah you do
You gotta be your own daddy
You gotta be your own daddy
You gotta be your own daddy
Yeah you do
Sittin' here taking these photographs
So it looks like we're having fun
I can't stand livin' life through a tiny screen
It's a lot of what I've become
Take your time and embrace this life
Cause it's the only one that we've got
Live in the moment even when it's a pain
And smile until you drop
You gotta be your own daddy
You gotta be your own daddy
You gotta be your own daddy
Yeah you do
You gotta be your own daddy
You gotta be your own daddy
You gotta be your own daddy
Yeah you do
People took responsibility
I know it sounds weird; I can't believe it myself
But it just might be what you need
Someone told me this years ago
And it's helped me in many ways
It sounds weird; it sounds strange
I don't care anyway
And I've been saying it every day
You gotta be your own daddy
You gotta be your own daddy
You gotta be your own daddy
Yeah you do
Losin' your job that you needed the most
And rent's comin' up next week
Now's not the time to sit and complain
It's time to get on your feet
Son of a bitch if it happens again
I swear I'm gonna find a bridge
You need to know that you're not alone
And you can try to do what I did
You gotta be your own daddy
You gotta be your own daddy
You gotta be your own daddy
Yeah you do
You gotta be your own daddy
You gotta be your own daddy
You gotta be your own daddy
Yeah you do
Sittin' here taking these photographs
So it looks like we're having fun
I can't stand livin' life through a tiny screen
It's a lot of what I've become
Take your time and embrace this life
Cause it's the only one that we've got
Live in the moment even when it's a pain
And smile until you drop
You gotta be your own daddy
You gotta be your own daddy
You gotta be your own daddy
Yeah you do
You gotta be your own daddy
You gotta be your own daddy
You gotta be your own daddy
Yeah you do
