Suburban Dad
Written circa 2006 ©Roger Bain

I am a suburban dad
I am a suburban dad
I’ve been to every game my kid’s ever had
I’m on the sidelines waving my arms
I’m yelling things like “go kids go!”
I’m high fiving all the dads I know
Because I’m a suburban dad
I am a suburban dad

I am a suburban dad
I am a suburban dad

I go to work Monday through Friday
Go to the hardware store on Saturday
I go to church whenever I need to
Go to the Bears game once a season
I’ll drink a beer for any ol’ reason
Because I’m a suburban dad
I am a suburban dad

It’s the finest feeling, baby
I’ve ever had
Just being a suburban dad

I am a suburban dad
I am a suburban dad

I mow the grass when it gets long
I clean the gutters and I water the lawn
I blow the leaves right off of my drive
I get excited when it starts to snow
My snow blower’s got a twenty foot throw
And I am a suburban dad

I am a suburban dad
I am a suburban dad

I keep a pack of smokes out in the garage
I smoke two or three packs a year
Hell, I have to do something bad
Something that will make my wife mad
Because I’m a suburban dad
I am a suburban dad

It’s the finest feeling, baby
I’ve ever had
Just being a suburban dad

Cowbell during break

I’m at the hardware store buying some screws
I give a nod to the fellow in line
I think his kid is on a team with my kid
I guess that makes him a friend of mine
Maybe maybe we will party some time
He’s got a wife, I think her name’s Marge
She’s kinda cute but her feet are too large
And I am a suburban dad
I am a suburban dad

It’s the finest feeling, baby
I’ve ever had
Just being a suburban dad
Just being a suburban dad

I am a suburban dad
I am a suburban dad
I am a suburban dad
Cowbell ( spoken over chorus…just got me a new cordless leaf blower….
