We livin’ in some weird ass times, y’all. Most of the time I try to write for a character in a narrative, I try to do deep political or philosophical shit, but shit’s real as fuck right now with all this quarantine shit goin’ on with the coronavirus, so here’s where my head’s at for real.
Disclaimer: As so many things, whiskey intake has increased dramatically and I may have been a bit in my cups for this recording.
lyrics
Many of you might know I’m a stay at home Dad
Short all the stigma, it really ain’t quite so bad
Lately we got ourselves a situation that's driving me mad
Been outta school three weeks, and on top of getting fat
It’s a miracle I ain’t murdered these kids
Locked up, hemmed up, put up with all of their shit
Wanna tell these ungrateful squirts to kiss my grits and
Save me Lord ‘fore I lose what’s left of my wits
Tried to listen to records it wasn’t their thing
They only wanna hear Elsa and Anna sing
Even pulled out the best of my collection, Hell, I broke out the king
Gonna go bat shit crazy in this quarantine
It’s a miracle I ain’t murdered these kids
Locked up, hemmed up, put up with all of their shit
Wanna tell these ungrateful squirts to kiss my grits
Save me Lord ‘fore I lose what’s left of my wits
Don’t get me wrong, I do love my sweet little girls
Goddamnit Lizzie put her down and put on a damn shirt
If they don’t sit their asses down there’s gon’ be a world of hurt
Ask me for juice one more time you little squirt
It’s a miracle I ain’t murdered these kids
Locked up, hemmed up, put up with all of their shit
Wanna tell these ungrateful squirts to kiss my grits
Save me Lord ‘fore I lose what’s left of my wits
