Verse I:
D A
My weekends get rough 'cause there's not that much to do

We're victims of the system It's what a single dad goes through

I get measured by my wallet and the money I can give
G A
When the court steps in and looks at me And say they're thinking of my kids
Prechorus I:
Em A Em
I don't need those judges that make me mad I don't need a system to tell me
A
how to act
Em A D
All I want to do Is be their dad
Chorus 1:
G D
Let's play football in the yard play games in your room
A D
Have tea with Mr. Eeyore and chat with Mr. Pooh

Know you've got to brush your teeth before you go to bed
Em A Em A
And know your smiles always make me glad and I all I want to do ...
D
is be your dad.
Verse II:
D A
Well I'm a proud father giving what I've got
G A
Then the state stepped in and took from me not leaving me a lot.

I scr*pe and save all that's left for when they walk through that door
G A
Maybe a rented movie, cokes and rootbeer and a bowl of fresh popcorn

There are many dads just like me working secret jobs
