Lyrics
MY DAD david garriock / sean o´niel
(A1)
RIDING ALONG W ITH THE WIND IN MY HAIR
YOU UP FRONT, ME NOT A CARE
BICYCLE WHEELS GOING ROUND AND AROUND
I SMILE TO MYSELF , I´M GLAD
YOUR MY DAD
(B)
MY DAD WAS BIG AND STRONG
HE KNEW THAT HE BE - - LONGED
MY DAD WAS KIND, HE WAS GOOD
MY DAD
(A2)
OUT IN THE SHED ON A RUSTY OLD NAME
TYRES ALL FLAT, TELLS A SAD TALE
OF STUFF WE FORGET AS WE RIDE THRO´THE YEARS
I SMILE TO MYSELF, I THINK
OF MY DAD
(A3)
CRUMBLING TABLE, WHEELS IN THE AIR
OIL ON OUR FINGERS, GREASE EVERYWHERE
IT´S THE BIKE WE REMEMBER, WE PUT ON THE CHAIN
AND THE OLD LEATHER SEAT, I HAD
WITH MY DAD
(C)
LOOKED IN THE MIRROR THIS MORNING
SAW MY DAD LOOKING AT ME
PROMISED THE GHOST THAT I LOVE THE MOST
FROM NOW ON
(B2)
I´M GONNA BE BIG AND STRONG
GET BACK WHERE I BE - LONG
TRY TO BE KIND, TRY TO BE GOOD
LIKE MY DAD
(B3)
LA LA LA - - - - - - - -
