Verse 1
I was one of the lucky ones
To be the son of that ole gun
He was tall as a steeple
He was like tough like a diesel
And every morning he’d wake me up
Boots on and a coffee cup
Walking out the front door
It was, “Love you, son. I love you more.”
And hanging on his jeans
And sayin’ please
Chorus
Stay at home, Dad
Don’t you wanna go fishing
Throw the ball out in the back
If you do, I’ll do the dishes
Me and mama miss you bad
I’ll be the man till you get back
If it ain’t too much to ask
Stay at home, Dad
Verse 2
Couple years down a dirt road
I had a boy of my own
Lookin’ through the nursery glass
My old man looked at me
And he had to laugh
He said, It won’t be long
Before he starts to walk
And just wait till he starts to talk
Ya think that you know hurting
Till one day you’re off to work
He’s tugging on your sleeve
And he’s begging please
Chorus
Stay at home, Dad
Don’t you wanna go fishing
Throw the ball out in the back
If you do, I’ll do the dishes
Me and mama miss you bad
I’ll be the man till you get back
If it ain’t too much to ask
Stay at home, Dad
Bridge
Years grow wings and fly on by
Everybody’s here to say goodbye
Don’t know this world
Without you in it
Give me one more day
One more minute
Chorus
Stay at home, Dad
Don’t you wanna go fishing
Throw the ball out in the back
Man, I wish that I could fix this
Me and mama miss you bad
I’ll be the man you can count on that
But if it ain’t too much to ask
Stay at home, Dad
” Stay At Home Dad ” Song Meaning
