Calls Me Dad

[00:00.02] I've been called a hustler, been called a gambler
[00:03.47] Some people call me bad
[00:06.32] I've been an old bad road, been a dirty T-shirt
[00:09.73] Been a broken piece of glass
[00:12.64] I've been called an asshole by the woman I love
[00:15.83] Said things I shouldn't have
[00:18.79] But that shit don't matter no more
[00:22.19] 'Cause the one I love just calls me dad
[00:25.29] I've been a broken down car on the side of the road
[00:28.46] I've been a sinning man that never read the bible before
[00:31.66] I've walked miles on hot coals, alone in the dark
[00:34.63] I've been stabbed in the back, and I've been shot in my heart
[00:37.74] I've been lowlife scum from the bottom of the Earth
[00:41.24] But all that changed when your mother gave birth
[00:44.22] It was hard at first, I had so much I had to go through
[00:47.97] Wouldn't believe all the things that I used to do
[00:51.18] But for you, I would give it all up
[00:53.60] I would never turn around and go back (back, back)
[00:57.24] Because of you, I finally gave it all up and
[00:59.80] I finally got my life on track
[01:01.87] I ain't going back
[01:03.06] I've been called a hustler, been called a gambler
[01:05.87] Some people call me bad
[01:08.77] I've been an old bad road, been a dirty T-shirt
[01:12.23] Been a broken piece of glass
[01:14.91] I've been called an asshole by the woman I love
[01:18.13] Said things I shouldn't have
[01:21.21] But that shit don't matter no more
[01:24.52] 'Cause the one I love just calls me dad
[01:28.43] I can't wait to conversate when you get grown enough
[01:31.44] So I can tell you the story how daddy sobered up
[01:34.64] I'm on the road, I'm always chasing the dream
[01:37.01] But I swear this is so much better than how I used to be
[01:40.06] I had to swallow my pride, push some ego aside
[01:43.28] I had to do a little hustling, so we could survive
[01:46.46] Some days I'm so mad that it eats me alive
[01:49.29] But I deal with it with a smile, so I can be by your side
[01:52.67] Everybody in the world just wants a piece of the pie
[01:55.65] I'm getting mine but just know that you're the reason I try
[01:58.88] On the tour bus that smells like whiskey, weed and cigarettes
[02:02.34] I've been gone for three days, I wonder if you miss me yet
[02:04.72] I've been called a hustler, been called a gambler
[02:08.02] Some people call me bad
[02:10.99] I've been an old bad road, been a dirty T-shirt
[02:14.47] Been a broken piece of glass
[02:17.04] I've been called an asshole by the woman I love
[02:20.56] Said things I shouldn't have
[02:23.55] But that shit don't matter no more
[02:26.85] 'Cause the one I love just calls me dad
[02:32.10] The greatest gift in life we can have is to be a parent
[02:36.96] It's awesome to walk into a school and
[02:39.41] Nobody knows you by Jelly Roll
[02:41.17] Nobody knows you by Jason
[02:43.43] All the kids just know you by your child's name
[02:48.18] Immediately followed like little John's mother
[02:51.91] "Oh, that's John's dad"
[02:54.44] So as much as I love being me
[02:59.02] I love being Bailey's dad
[03:03.31] Yeah
[03:07.36] I've been called a hustler, been called a gambler
[03:10.56] Some people call me bad
[03:13.35] I've been an old bad road, been a dirty T-shirt
[03:16.61] Been a broken piece of glass
[03:19.67] I've been called an asshole by the woman I love
[03:23.02] Said things I shouldn't have
[03:25.79] But that shit don't matter no more
[03:29.13] 'Cause the one I love just calls me dad
[03:34.12]
