3. Had a Dad (3:44)
[Verse 1]
I had a dad, big and strong
I turned around, I found my daddy gone
He was the one, made me what I am today
It's up to me now, my daddy has gone away, that's right!
(Shit, hey!)

[Verse 2]
Well I spoke to the mountain, I listened to the sea
They both told me that the fountain was the best that you can be
My daddy's hand, it growed slow to the lickin'
Sonny boy, grow to whip him!

[Interlude]
Uh! Huh!

[Bridge]
If you see my dad, tell him my brothers
All gone mad, they're beatin' on each other
I walked around, even tried to call
Had that funny feelin'
He's not there at all! Oh!

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
If you see my dad, tell him my brothers
All gone mad, they're beatin' on each other
I walked around, even tried to call
Got that funny feelin'
God is dead
He's not there at all!
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah!

[Verse 1]
I had a dad, he was big and strong
When I turned around me now, found my daddy gone
Yes, he was the one who made me what I am today
It's up to me now, my daddy has gone away
Gone away, gone away, hey, gone away

[Outro]
Yes, I said I had, I had a dad
I said I had, I had a dad
I said I had
I said I had, yeah yeah yeah-yeah yeah
Ooh
