lyrics

T-shirt rolled up to his shoulders
Six inch sideburns and a pompadour
A two pack habit pushing a baby stroller
My daddy was a rocknroller

He drove used cards
Built 'em outta used parts
Kept 'em in the front yard up on blocks
A grease monkey with a weekend job

Couldn't care less about what the neighbours thought
He really knew how to stretch a dollar
Sneaking us kids into the drive in theatre
Four on the floor underneath the covers
My daddy was a rocknroller
My daddy was a rocknroller

He dodged the war 'cause he was nobody's soldier
Settled down here just north of the border
A union man 'til the company sold her
My daddy was a rocknroller

He grew up but he never got older
A wise cracker and a straight shooter
Just like Lenny on Law And Order
My daddy was a rocknroller

My daddy was a rocknroller
My daddy was a rocknroller
He never kissed no ass unless it was my mother's
My daddy was a rocknroller

Father John Misty is so good to listen to when I want to relax. My cat used to seem to like the music too, and we would both chill and listen to the FJM vinyls I own. This album on bandcamp was a nice FJM treat. Michelle May
