Dear Ol' Dad - Blind Melon

Come now, and listen babe

I gotta reason why I behave

Like a child with the light in his eyes

Running naked on a cold winter night

I’m like a pigeon that’s spreading its wings

To fly away to better things

Like a hammer that has made a dent

In every little, single cent you’ve spent

Said, oh God, you’ve got to help me, a little bit

You’ve got, you’ve gotta have a relief file for me, yeah

Now, I know I’m always right

That’s a thought that never even crossed my mind

Don’t touch me there, I gotta be pure

So smack that hand, and read this verse

So, I wrecked your life, what the heck?

My new found faith will pay that check

This life’s took a toll on my soul

This life’s took a toll on my soul

So, this is me, and that’s my song

And I guess you can see we don’t get along

I’ve shut the doors on what we had

So, now, she can sleep with dear ol' dad

My eyes are dry and my hands are clean

And I can’t believe all the things I’ve seen

Said, oh God, you’ve got to help me, a little bit

You’ve got, you’ve gotta have a relief file for me, yeah

I said, oh my God

I, I

Said, I’m gonna keep the dog
