Lyrics

Now there's many things I value
Since I've been on my own
And one is the opinion of my dad
(who's back at home)
And tho we always differ
And tho we always fight
It's only 'cause I'm mad
'cause Dad is always right!

Now as I've been awanderin'
Around this big 'ol town
There's been a time or two
When I wished Dad were around
-Like just the other night
When a girl (cuddlin' cute)
Took me to her home
It was . . .a house of ill repute!
I wondered . . .

Chorus
What would dad had done
Now if he were me?
There's a lump in my throat
(and a hand upon my knee!)
Should I swear/Should I care?
or simply walk away?
Lord there sure are times
When I wonder what he'd say

Verse #2
Well, as things worked out
I jumped into my car
I headed like the blazes
Towards another bar
And it surely were'nt long
'Till I met one of those . . .
People who are men
(but dressed in women's clothes!)
I wondered . . .

Chorus
What would dad had done
Now if he were me?
There's a lump in my throat
(and a hand upon my knee!)
Should I swear/Should I care?
or simply walk away?
Lord there sure are times
When I wonder what he'd say!

Verse #3
No just the other night
My girl kept me warm
thru the rain and the lightnin'
Of another-summer-storm
And as she held me tight
(tho the sky was thunderin')
You surely can be certain that
I WASN'T wonderin' . . .

Chorus
What would dad had done
Now if he were me?
There's a lump in my throat
(and a hand upon my knee!)
Should I swear/Should I care?
or simply walk away?
Lord there sure are times
When I wonder what he'd say.
