about

A song about the best dad in the world - could be mine or maybe yours or maybe the dad we all would have wanted.

It was written a few years ago by David (Geordie) Garriock at a Listening Room Songwriting Retreat.

lyrics

My Dad
Riding along - wind in my hair
You up in front - me not a care
Bicycle wheels going round and around I smile to myself, I’m glad
You’re my dad

My dad is big and strong He knows that he belongs My dad is kind
He’s good
My dad

Out in the shed on a rusty old nail
Tyres are flat, tells a sad tale
Of stuff we forget as we ride through the years I smile to myself, an think
Of my dad

My dad was big and strong He knew that he belonged My dad was kind
He was good
My dad

Crumbling table. wheels in the air
Oil on my fingers, grease everywhere
It’s the bike I remember, I put on the chain And the old leather seat
I had
With my dad

Looked in the mirror this morning Saw my dad looking at me Promised the ghost
I love the most
From now on....

...I’m gonna be
big and strong
Get back where I belong Try to be kind
Try to be good
Like my dad
