Story Behind the Song
Wouldn't you know it? I wrote this song about fathers who expend a great deal of energy trying to provide for their families, while from the point of view of the family, all they see is that he's not spending quality time with them. An excellent message, yet, I found myself doing the same thing...
Lyrics
O' knock off at five, meet the broker at six
You're barely alive, but a good name really sticks
Appointments 'til nine and sometimes ten
Hope the family's fine, guess I'll be home late again
Save a buck to make a dime. With a little luck you'll be a hit this time
Be with the right folks. Get a bigger car
The life of the party an' your kids are wonderin' who you are
The wife's uptight, another fight
The same options still remain
a drink or a toke should ease the pain
I'm doin' it all for you. Can't you see?
That's how I show love to you, it's not for me
That's what I keep sayin' but you never seem to hear
Why is it that you never seem to hear?
