When My Dad Comes Home

Song Length 3:47 Genre Folk - General

Lyrics

1.
Mom and Dad got married in Las Vegas
And I arrived a short time after that
Within the year, Dad headed off to Texas
In his girlfriend's Cadillac

2.
And even though I've never really met him
I am sure that I'm his only son
And he's been trying to get back here forever
Just as I'd've done

Chorus:
And I'll be waiting here for when my dad comes home
We'll jump in his car and we'll just drive
With the windows down we'll turn on the radio
And take off for the skies

3.
School, you know, has always been a struggle
I just can't seem to get behind the rules
But when I'm sixteen I'll kiss off all this trouble
'Cause I'll be free to choose

Chorus:
And I'll be waiting here for when my dad comes home
...

And we'll show them
Yeah, we'll show 'em all
We'll show them what we can do

4.
Mom has done her best, I know she's tried to
But she works nights while I'm out with my friends
The cops have warned to get me in by curfew
Or I'll be doing time again

Chorus:
And I'll be waiting there for when my dad comes home
...
