I'm Sorry Dad
Try to make your voice so you can't stand it
Make the words line up just like you planned it
Play with open notes on the B and E strings
As you force them to listen to all of the things
That hurt your feelings
Like when people call you a jerk or
Anytime you're chewed out, for being late for work
I'm sorry Dad, I didn't get a ride from Mom today
I'm sorry Dad, I don't know what else you want me to say
I'm sorry Dad, I don't have what it takes to fill your shoes
I know it's not me you would choose
Maybe if we could get along
There'd be no need to write this song
But how would I let them all know
How it is you make me feel
When I show up to work just to be
Reminded that I'm late
I'm sorry Dad, I didn't get a ride from Mom today
I'm sorry Dad, I don't know what else you want me to say
I'm sorry Dad, I don't have what it takes to fill your shoes
I know it's not me you would choose
You would choose
I know it's not me you would choose
That you would choose
I know it's not me you would choose
Make the words line up just like you planned it
Play with open notes on the B and E strings
As you force them to listen to all of the things
That hurt your feelings
Like when people call you a jerk or
Anytime you're chewed out, for being late for work
I'm sorry Dad, I didn't get a ride from Mom today
I'm sorry Dad, I don't know what else you want me to say
I'm sorry Dad, I don't have what it takes to fill your shoes
I know it's not me you would choose
Maybe if we could get along
There'd be no need to write this song
But how would I let them all know
How it is you make me feel
When I show up to work just to be
Reminded that I'm late
I'm sorry Dad, I didn't get a ride from Mom today
I'm sorry Dad, I don't know what else you want me to say
I'm sorry Dad, I don't have what it takes to fill your shoes
I know it's not me you would choose
You would choose
I know it's not me you would choose
That you would choose
I know it's not me you would choose
