Daddy Went a Giggin - Blues Traveler

Last day that you’re home flies by

The road comes for me like an evil eye

Daddy got a gig and he must ride

Sword and a pistol by his side

Last day that you’re home flies by

Woman, I can see you there

I try to act calm like I don’t care

But if I stay I’m never gonna leave

Gonna pull you in close til you believe

Woman, I can see you there

Yeah!

Yeah, yeah!

Tuggin' on a boat and the shoestring’s rough

You bet against scratch and he calls your bluff

You make your move and you act real tough

But he’ll be waiting with your coat when you’ve had enough

Tuggin' on a boat and the shoestring’s rough

Road gonna rumble, road gonna rage

Road let the monster outta my cage

Road gonna rise gonna race gonna raise

Gonna roll to the river if the ferryman pays

Road gonna rumble, road gonna rage

Oh yeah!

Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Yeah!

Daddy slaying dragons in your dreams at night

He’s facing down villains and ogres he’d fight

He playing with the sky and the stars and their light

He hears you when you whisper and he’s holding you tight

Daddy slaying dragons in your dreams at night

Daddy got the stack and he’s comin' on home

He’s been to Brisbane and Dallas and Rome

Try to be happy try not to be grown

'Cause he didn’t wanna leave you or your mama alone

Daddy got the stack and he’s comin' on home

Comin' on home

Comin' on home
