Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I haven't always been a single man
And I haven't always lived up here
Along with all these other single men
With a ring around the bath and a cigarette butt in my beer
And I haven't always been a lonely man
And I haven't always lived alone
And you know I haven't always drunk this much
But hey before you cut me down
Just try standing in my shoes
'Cause I don't have to hear one word of this, no
[Verse 2]
On any other day, I might care what you say
But every Saturday is Father's Day
And you might call it sad
You may call me mad
But I've got one who calls me Dad
[Verse 3]
And all the other blokes that live up here
Know how to leave a man alone
They're not a bad old bunch that live up here
Ah, but you know that it's not family and it's not home
What of a darling wife that once I had?
Well I'm pleased to say that she still talks to me
But I try not to think of what went wrong
'Cause if I say that I was right
She might say that she was right
And the only rights I care about are visiting rights
[Verse 4]
And any other day, I might care what you say
But every Saturday is Father's Day
You might call it sad
You may call me mad
But I've got one who calls me Dad
[Verse 5]
We go where he wants to go
We do what he wants to do
I tell him everything I know
'Cause I'd do anything to prove
Yeah, I'd do anything to prove
[Verse 6]
That every Saturday, I will do just what he says
'Cause every single Saturday is Father's Day
And you might call it sad
You might call me mad
But it don't feel so bad, when he calls me
You might call it sad
You might call me mad
But it don't feel half bad, when he calls me
You might call it sad
You might call me mad
But God I feel so great, when he calls me Dad
Yeah, he calls me Dad
I haven't always been a single man
