He's Always Glad to See You
I've got a dad, maybe a lot like yours
Likes to spend his time out-of-doors
Bought himself a Sears six-horse riding lawn mower
He's always glad to see you
He's not known as a patient man
Except for when he's got a fishing pole in his hand
Then he's just like a drifting sand
He's always glad to see you
He grew up down on the Patch as they used to say
Back in the hills of southwestern P.A
It was a little piece of heaven, still is today
He's always glad to see you
He never went that far in school
But he's always lived by the golden rule
Makes him smarter than me and I ain't no fool
He's always glad to see you
He was just a kid when he went off to war
When he got back, he moved up north
Took along a bride, always drove a Ford
He's always glad to see you
Had a son he didn't give a middle name
It was nine long years before the second one came
Five more before another one showed up one day
He's always glad to see you
Yeah, I got a dad maybe a lot like yours
Likes to spend his time out-of-doors
Always likes to stay busy, doesn't like to be bored
He's always glad to see you
He's always voted democrat
He joined the union in the company he worked at
I want to make it clear; I've always been proud of that
He's always glad to see you
He's only lived in one house that he's owned
About a hundred times when we were alone
He's says, "You're always welcome here son, this is your home"
He's always glad to see you
As a younger man, he had a full head of hair
That all went, I don't know where
But mine is giving his some company there
He's always glad to see you
If the truth be told he's got a stubborn streak
About where he'll go, about who he'll meet
About the kind of food he will eat
But he's always glad to see you
When I get old and he's history
I hope someone will say they see
A little bit of my dad in my brothers and me
He's always glad to see you
Yeah, when I leave this earth because I've had my fill
Had enough and then some still
I only hope I can say I had the strength of will
To be always glad to see you
Yeah, I got a dad maybe a lot like yours
Likes to spend his time out-of-doors
Likes to watch the rain, whenever it pours
And he's always glad to see you
Likes to spend his time out-of-doors
Bought himself a Sears six-horse riding lawn mower
He's always glad to see you
He's not known as a patient man
Except for when he's got a fishing pole in his hand
Then he's just like a drifting sand
He's always glad to see you
He grew up down on the Patch as they used to say
Back in the hills of southwestern P.A
It was a little piece of heaven, still is today
He's always glad to see you
He never went that far in school
But he's always lived by the golden rule
