Hey Father where did you go
Don't you know
I've been traveling all alone
Kicking rocks on this lonely road
Tried calling mom
But even she doesn't know

So the kids keep making fun of me
Because they think it's kind of dumb of me
To lose a dad
Which kinda made me mad
Because I wish I had what they had
But what can i say
It's not like you cared anyways

Just wanted to let you know
Iā€™m glad you had to go
Cause iā€™m a better man than you'll ever be
As you look in the mirror even you can see
I'm nothing close to your reflection
Wait hold on correction
We would need to first have a connection
Maybe throw a ball or two
For me to say I see a dad in you

Did I even matter
Or is that why you scatter
So eager to climb that ladder
Of success
Yup that's right forget the rest
Of us
To bad that ladder was only two feet tall
And you still managed to fall
But you're right the view up here
Makes it way to clear
And eliminates all my fears
I didn't need you now or ever
Because it was so much better
With you gone
Who would have guessed i'd come out number one
