    An acoustic folk rock ballad. Length 4:58 Written for Jack's Dad. Some people even after hearing this song a number of times don't get it! It's not about dying at all ("Damn it Daddy I'm dying") rather it's about growing up , dying as a boy and becoming a man ("as every boy must one day", "they've all grown up but I hadn't changed", "I've been walkin' wrong please help me", "reach out please, and pull me back a man", etc.)

    Lyrics
    Damn it Daddy I'm Dying. I almost went today
    I believe Dad I'm dying, as every boy must one day
    This world is right, your boy's been wrong
    I need a cut. My hair's so long
    Damn it Daddy, I'm dying
    And no, I don't believe you'll miss me


    I saw friends of mine today
    They've all grown up, but I haven't changed
    They had smiles on their faces
    Cause they had their family, not friends
    I was thinking how I've been lonely
    And I was crying. Well, I guess I've been sad
    Rock 'n roll don't stop to phone me
    And I believe, well I believe I'm dying Dad


    Well Damn it Daddy I'm Dying. I almost went today
    I believe Dad I'm dying, as every boy must one day
    This world it's right, your boy's been wrong
    I need a cut. My hair's so long
    Damn it Daddy, I'm dying
    And no, I don't believe you'll miss me


    I've been walking wrong, please help me
    It's even hard it's so hard for me to stand
    And I've been lost so long reach out please
    Reach out and pull me back, a man
    See my best lady took to walking
    She didn't have what it takes to wait
    And every kid must grow up sometime
    It's just a shame, it's such a shame that I'm so late


    Well Damn it Daddy I'm Dying. I almost went today
    I believe Dad I'm dying, as every boy must one day
    This world is right, your boy's been wrong
    I need a cut. My hair's so long
    Damn it Daddy, I'm dying
    No, I don't believe you'll miss me
