jelly roll - calls me dad lyrics

Loading...

[chorus]
i’ve been called a hustler, been called a gambler
some people call me bad

i’ve been an old bad road, been a dirty t-shirt
been a broken piece of gl-ss

i’ve been called an -sshole by the woman i love
said things i shouldn’t have

but that sh-t don’t matter no more
cuz the one i love… just calls me dad

[verse 1]
i’ve been a broken down car on the side of the road
i’ve been a sinning man that never read the bible before
i’ve walked miles on hot coals, alone in the dark
i’ve been stabbed in the back and
i’ve been shot in the heart

i’ve been low life sc-m from the bottom of the earth
but all that changed when your mother gave birth
it was hard at first i had so much i had to go thru
wouldn’t believe all of the things that i used to do

but for you i would give it all up
i would never turn around and go back back back
because of you i finally gave it all up and
i finally got my life on track
i ain’t going back

[chorus]
i’ve been called a hustler, been called a gambler
some people call me bad
i’ve been an old bad road, been a dirty t-shirt
been a broken piece of gl-ss
i’ve been called an -sshole by the woman i love
said things i shouldn’t have
but that sh-t don’t matter no more
cuz the one i love… just calls me dad

[verse 2]
i can’t wait to conversate when you get grown enough
so i can tell ya the story how daddy sobered up
i’m on the road i’m always chasing the dream
but i swear this is so much better than how i used to be

i had to swallow my pride push some ego aside
i had to do a lil hustling so we could survive
some days i’m so mad that it eats me alive
but i deal with it with a smile so i can be by your side

everybody in the world just wants a piece of the pie
i’m getting mine but just know that you’re the reason i try
on the tour bus that smells like whiskey, weed and cigarettes
i’ve been gone for three days i wonder if you miss me yet

[chorus]
i’ve been called a hustler, been called a gambler
some people call me bad
i’ve been an old bad road, been a dirty t-shirt
been a broken piece of gl-ss
i’ve been called an -sshole by the woman i love
said things i shouldn’t have
but that sh-t don’t matter no more
cuz the one i love… just calls me dad

[outro]
the greatest gift in life we can have
is to be a parent
it’s awesome to walk into a school and
n-body knows you by jelly roll
n-body knows you by jason

all the kids just know you by your child’s name
immediately followed by father
like lil jon’s mother

“oh that’s jon’s dad!”

so as much as i love being me
i love being bailey’s dad

[repeat chorus]
