Story Behind the Song
Motivated by my daughter who you can here at the top of the song..She was born to rock it seems!! Takes you through the changes that occur when all of a sudden you're a parent.
It took a couple of weeks to write and about three sessions to record..
Great job on the back up vocals by Soozie Tyrell, Lisa Lowell and the fantastic Britt Savage..
This is a great fathers day song...
Enjoy
Lyrics
WELL I'VE NEVER BEEN MUCH OF A FAMILY MAN
I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD SEE
THE DAY THAT ANY WOMAN,
COULD MAKE A DADDY OUT OF ME
I'VE GIVEN UP THOSE HONKY TONKS,
I WOULDN'T GO BACK IF I COULD
SINGIN' ROCK A BYE MY LITTLE BABY,
IT'S A THING CALLED FATHERHOOD
NOW IT REALLY DOES AMAZE ME,
BUT IT COMES AS NO SURPRIZE
EVERY TIME MY BABY SMILES AT ME,
WELL I CAN SEE ME, IN HER EYES
I'M CHANGIN' THOSE DIRTY DIAPERS,
WHO'DA EVER THOUGHT I WOULD
FROM ROCKIN AND ROLLIN' TO NURSERY RHYMES
I'M DIGGIN' THIS FATHERHOOD 2X
FATHERHOOD, NO MORE LIVIN' LOOSE
FEELS SO GOOD, TO BE ROCKIN' WITH MOTHER GOOSE
I'M SETTLING DOWN IN A FAMILY WAY,
GOT MR. ROGERS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD
I SING MY A B C'S WATCHIN' SESAME STREET
I'M DIGGIN' THIS FATHERHOOD 2X
--SOLO--
FATHERHOOD, NO MORE SINGIN' THE BLUES
FEELS SO GOOD, NOW THE COW'S JUMPIN OVER THE MOON
I NEVER HAD TIME FOR THAT DADDY STUFF,
I GUESS I NEVER REALLY UNDERSTOOD
NOW IT'S MOMMY AND ME , AND BABY MAKES THREE,
I'M DIGGIN' THIS FATHERHOOD 2X
DIGGIN THIS,DIGGIN' THIS
I'M DIGGIN' THIS FATHERHOOD
FATHERHOOD, LIFE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME
FEELS SO GOOD, I THINK I WANNA TRY IT AGAIN
I GOT BEDTIME READINGS AND MIDNIGHT FEEDINGS
GOT ELMO AND A BEAR NAMED POOH
AND TODAY MY BABY CALLED ME DADDY
I'M DIGGIN' THIS FATHERHOOD 2X
--CHORUS 2X--
FADE
