I Love My Dad Sun Kil Moon

[Verse 1]
When I was young, my father taught me
Not to gloat
If I came home too proud of myself
I'd get wrestled to the floor and choked
But I forgive him for that
He was an eighth grade dropout and I was being a brat
I forgive him, I do
I know that he loves me and he knows I love him, too
When I was young, my father told me
"To each his own"
The lady said as she kissed the cow
"Some like the fiddle, some like the trombone"
And I live by that rule
Your trip is your trip, and my trip is my trip, too
Yeah, I'll mind my own business
I'll have an O'Douls and my friend here will have a Guinness

[Chorus]
I love my dad (I love my dad)
I love my dad (I love my dad)
I love my dad (I love my dad)
I love my dad

[Verse 2]
Your kid goes to the private Berkeley school
With one Black kid
My kid goes to the public school
Came home with a cracked rib
And when my kid's eighteen
He'll be out there like I was, probably chasing his dreams
And when your kid's twenty-two
He'll have an internship at a law firm, and hey, that's okay, too
When I was five, I came home from kindergarten crying
'Cause they sat me next to an albino
My dad said, "Son, everyone's different
You gotta love 'em all equally, you know"
And then, my dad sat me down
He said, "You gotta love all people, pink, red, Black, or brown"
And then, just after dinner
He played me the album They Only Come Out at Night by Edgar Winter
