Is she weird
All the things I've seen,
Couldn't prepare me,
For what I was about to experience.
As a little boy,
Growing up in a world,
Made for all the big kids and the big toys.
Sometimes I'd sit around and wait,
Play with my toys cars,
Until the wheels would turn no more,
Than I'd think to myself...
Is my dad's car coming home?
Or will this be another night,
My mom, brother and I,
Tucking ourselves in?
Chorus:
I learned my alphabet to spell dad,
How quickly dad turned to sad,
In my preschool days,
And the rest of my life.

Couldn't prepare me,
For what I was about to experience.
As a little boy,
Growing up in a world,
Made for all the big kids and the big toys.
Sometimes I'd sit around and wait,
Play with my toys cars,
Until the wheels would turn no more,
Than I'd think to myself...
Is my dad's car coming home?
Or will this be another night,
My mom, brother and I,
Tucking ourselves in?
Chorus:
I learned my alphabet to spell dad,
How quickly dad turned to sad,
In my preschool days,
And the rest of my life.
