Story Behind The Song
My Dad and I played a lot of music together. We drive from town to the next gig. We had a lot of fun getting together with our friends. Dad passed away in 2000 with cancer, I was hurt so and didn't go to his funeral.

Lyrics
It Was A Happy Father's Day
Music and Lyrics By: Gregory E. Finch
1. As these memories crossed my mind,
and I thought of all the times,
that me and my dad would get away,
we would drive from town to town, having fun and bumming around, those were some good times in my life.
2. We would laugh and sometimes cry,
talk of his and moms' life,
How 2 people met and fell in love.
Dad would say she was easy to love
they were match made from above she will be someone he will never forget.
Chorus
It was a Happy Father's Day,
thank you for the memories that were made, I'm sorry you went away, I'll miss you every day, no one can take your place,
It was a Happy Father's Day,
I sure miss the old home place, when you and mom would come in there was happiness again,I love you both and you're my friend.
**Music Break**
3. The day Dad passed away was a day I can't forget, I wasn't there at home like all the rest you left without saying bye,
Dad I know the reason why I'll have to get through this by myself.
Chorus / Close
When you and mom would come in there was
happiness again I love you both and you're my friend.
