Daddy's Been Around The House Too Long

Bobby Bare

    Continues after the ad

    (Daddy's been around the house too long
    He's watchin' TV drinking beer and singing crazy songs
    He don't ever yell at us so something must be wrong
    Cause daddy's been around the house too long)

    (Daddy he just says the times are bad
    He gets up drinks his coffee and reads the want ads
    Then he wanders round the house or maybe mows the lawn
    Daddy's been around the house too long)

    Oh I wanna hear that factory whistle blow just the way it used to sound before
    And maybe it'll scare away the wolf that's at my door
    I wanna hear that factory whistle blow

    (Daddy used to spend his weekends lazy now momma says he's bout to drive her crazy
    He's in the kitchen fussing till the Secret Storm comes on
    Daddy's been around the house too long)
    I wanna hear that factory whistle blow yeah daddy's been around the house too long
