When I was young my father taught me not to gloat
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
If I came home too proud of myself I get wrestled to the floor and choked
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
But I forgive him for that
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
He was an eighth grade drop out and I was being a brat
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
I forgive him, I do
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
I know that he loves me and he knows I love him too
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
When I was young my father told me, to each his own
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
The lady said as she kissed the cow
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Some like the fiddle, some like the trombone
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
And I live by that rule
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Your trip is your trip and my trip is my trip too
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Yeah, I'll mind my own business
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
I'll have an O'Douls and my friend here will have a Guinness
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
I love my dad
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
I love my dad
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
I love my dad
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
I love my dad

Your kid goes to the private Berkeley school with one black kid
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
My kid goes to the public school, came home with cracked ribs
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
And when my kid's eighteen
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
He'll be out there like I was and probably chasing his dreams
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
And when your kid's twenty-two
