Dad Gone Thing

Jack of all trade

Master of everything

Lived a life with a spice

For the party he brings

He could out-pray the Pope

More junk, more dope

He was my missin' link

Pour him another drink

He was always there

To hear the church-bells ringing

Front row, right pew

So that he could be seen

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

He could out-play the devil

Out-smart him too

If you would hear him croon his tune

He would blow your mind too

He was always there

To hear the church-bells ringing

Front row, right pew

They might call him to do his thing

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

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

He was always there

To hear the church-bells ringing

Front row, right pew

So that he could be seen

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

And I won't sing my song

(Heavenly Father)

Sing my song

(Heavenly Father)

Heavenly Father

(Heavenly Father)

Can you hear my plea?

(Heavenly Father)

Heavenly Father, now, now, yeah

(Heavenly Father)

(Heavenly Father)

Hey now, Heavenly Father

(Heavenly Father)

Can you hear my song?

(Heavenly Father)

Can you hear my song?
