Give Dad A Call

What I'd give to give him a call Tell him 'bout Tennessee in the fall Talk a little shop, maybe pick his brain About life and love, or the lack of rain But sometimes I hear his voice When the chips are down and I got a choice to keep my word, or stand my ground Doing all I know to make him proud When the fight to keep the faith feels like a brawl I wish I could give dad a call Even Jesus Christ himself Leaned on his paw when he needed help Lord knows I can't walk on water So how much more do I need my father? To lean on When the waves are tall When I come up short, though I gave my all Falling face flat getting up again When my heart's so broke it just won't mend And the fight to keep the faith feels like a brawl I wish I could give dad a call Oh, I'd sure like to give dad a call
