about

Title track from my upcoming album, 'Father's Day', released worldwide on Aug. 13th, 2023.

lyrics

Learned a lot from my dad, some good, some bad
And if shades of gray were grades, I say, that I'd be a college grad
Yeah I'd be a college grad

Learned a lot from my mom, a trumpet blast to a gentle psalm
And if rolling tires were grounding wires, then I'd be a nuclear bomb
Yeah I'd be a nuclear bomb

Learned a lot from my wife, turned this dull edge into a knife
And if my skin and bone had never met her stone
Well I'd have one lonely life
It'd be one sad little life

Learned a lot from my kids, grew me up real quick, yeah they did
And if an auctioneer tried to sell those years, well I would not be outbid
No, I would not be outbid, I'd never be outbid
