Says he used to drive a wagon
Used to sleep in the back
He played shows all across this country
To Nova Scotia and back
Says he knows every town and diner
Every AM station between
He's my rock and roll dad
At least he used to be
Now he's working nine to five
And He does the best he can
It's get the kids out the front door
Get to work by nine AM
Traded all those late nights
And mornings sleeping in
He's a working nine to five dad
He drives a mini van
He says theres nothing better then
The wind in your hair
A ten hour drive across the prairies
To breath that mountain air
Said he played for hundreds of thousands
He could have made it big
He's my rock and roll dad
At least he used to be
Now he's working nine to five
And He does the best he can
It's get the kids out the front door
Get to work by nine AM
Traded all those late nights
And mornings sleeping in
He's a working nine to five dad
He drives a mini van
Never thought he'd ever settle
Or trade his traveling ways
Now it's get dinner on the table
And get to bed by eight
You can call it giving in
Or can call it fate
Life will give you what you need
That's something you can't change
Now he's working nine to five
And He does the best he can
It's get the kids out the front door
Get to work by nine AM
Traded all those late nights
And mornings sleeping in
He's a working nine to five dad
Well he's working nine to five
And He does the best he can
It's get the kids out the front door
Get to work by nine AM
Traded all those late nights
And mornings sleeping in
He's a working nine to five dad
He drives a mini van
