about

I should spend more time with my kids. I ain't a bad Dad, but I know I could probably be a better one. Pretty low production value. Guitar is out of tune, recorded with a crappy podcast mic because I'm in the middle of working on my teaching certification, and doing marking for four grades worth of music classes and four choirs and...I just don't have time to go nuts on a big production right now.

lyrics

Saturday just blew by
Sunday seems the same
Monday mornin’s comin’
An every week refrain
Shaping all my winters
A choir sings a song
Kids are laughin’ sweetly
Draggin’ me along

Daddy can we go to a park today
Seems a fifteen minute lifetime
Since we got to play
Sun is shining, weather’s cool
And our friends are all outside
Know you’re kinda tired
But they just put in a brand new slide

Often take for granted
The time I get with them
Then I will remember
Each moment is a gem
Years, they seem like seconds
Cliche because it’s true
Gotta make time for the young ones
Though there’s lots to do

Daddy can we go to a park today
Seems a fifteen minute lifetime
Since we got to play
Sun is shining, weather’s cool
And our friends are all outside
Know you’re kinda tired
But they just put in a brand new slide

Training wheels are gone now
The struggle is oh so real
Both the young’uns gettin’ older
And yeah, that’s part the deal
Though I’m achin’ in the bones
Share with them the sun
And hope my numbered Summers
Leave plenty time left for fun

Daddy can we go to a park today
Seems a fifteen minute lifetime
Since we got to play
Sun is shining, weather’s cool
And our friends are all outside
Know you’re kinda tired
But they just put in a brand new slide ->2x

I need to do a better job. I’m not a bad Dad, but I know I could be a better one.
