Ugly Kid Joe - Father Lyrics

My Dad was just like the Dad in this song and I did everything I could NOT to be like him and played with my son and took him to lots of places and events he liked. Now he's twenty four and doesn't want to know me. I just had to tell someone..

Little boy blew he needed the money

My high school English teacher, back in the 90s, would play this song on the guitar in class. Every time I hear it it takes me back her class and how much of an impact she made on me.

2020, more father and sons will lose that special bond

Great song!

Its 2020 and I am still listening. Great song.

Not nearly as good as the original

sorry about the misplaced    V   but who cares    dick...……..true to the feel...

SCVREW YOU ...GREAT SONG AND VERSION...ASSES.........….one of my favorite bands

This song always used to make me cry 💔,, but now, I just thank my Heavenly Father. He's always there for me and always will be. His love is truly unconditional and pure. He waits patiently for you to call out to Him. He wants you to know His Son. 😇💕🙏🙏🙏
He is all our Father. Much love to you all.

These fellas should've ot more respect, I think anyway.

Love the message, but hate how this version is set up rhythmwise. Harry Chapin had the best rendition

Thank u

Gta v gave me this good song

This is a cover btw

Who is here from Gta 5?

Nobody because we liked this song for the song not because it's in a damn game

@James Flores Thats right but i discovered from Gta 5 and this song sounds good

nice music, but never know this is from ugly kid joe. Always have in my mind guns and roses

Cat Steven's original but ugly did a great job

No, original is from Harry Chapin, 74'

suena muy similar a Old Man - Neil Young .

my new dog did bitey zoomies for the first time today while I was stuck at work. unbelievable just how powerful this song can be when you've experienced the pain of missing out on those important moments.

You ever listen to this and remember your childhood 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ literally shout out to the kids who were raised at the pub made friends with the other poor fuckers who's parents were to busy getting pissed and learnt the knowledge on the pool table and wall jukebox 🤦‍♀️❤

at my family home listening to this song 12/26/2019 in what use to be my dad s bed ..January 9TH will be 2 years since we ve lost him . mom your 8 kids miss you dad . we miss you all so much . love you very much.

Just had my first Christmas without my dad who died this September

i find this song can apply to siblings only as well

MEGAAAAADESSSKKKKK !!!!!!

X-MYBOYWASJUSTLIKEME-X

SVEICIENS NO ''KARNIŠA'' - NU I LĀB

. My child arrived just the other day;
Came to the world in the usually way
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay.
He learned to walk while I was away.
He was talkin' 'fore I knew it.
And as he grew he said,
"I'm gonna be like you, Dad.
You know I'm gonna be like you."

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
Little boy blue and the man on the moon.
"When you comin' home ?"
"Son, I don't know when.
We'll get together then.
You know we'll have a good time then."

Well, my son turned ten just the other day.
He said , "Thanks for the ball, Dad. Come on, let's play.
Could you teach me to throw ?" I said, "Not today.
I got a lot to do." He said, "That's okay."
And he walked away and he smiled and he said,
"You know,
I'm gonna be like him, yeah.
You know I'm gonna be like him."

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
Little boy blue and the man on the moon.
"When you comin' home ?"
"Son, I don't know when.
We'll get together then.
You know we'll have a good time then."

Well, he came from college just the other day,
So much like a man I just had to say,
"I'm proud of you. Could you sit for a while ?"
He shook his head and he said with a smile,
"What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys.
See you later. Can I have them please ?"

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
Little boy blue and the man on the moon.
"When you comin' home ?"
"Son, I don't know when.
We'll get together then.
You know we'll have a good time then."

I've long since retired, my son's moved away.
I called him up just the other day.
"I'd like to see you, if you don't mind."
He said, "I'd love to, Dad, if I could find the time.
You see my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu,
But it's sure nice talkin' to you, Dad.
It's been sure nice talkin' to you."
And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me,
He'd grown up just like me.
My boy was just like me.
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
Little boy blue and the man on the moon.
"When you comin' home ?"
"Son, I don't know when.
We'll get together then.
You know we'll have a good time then."

Take me back to the early nineties a lot of PCP

Eu tinha 12 anos quando ouvi essa música numa rádio chamada costa verde no programa fantasma do arquivo.😁💪 viva ao Rock 🎸

Lembro dessa música se nao me engano em 1994

I'm pretty sure this is about shooting heroin dudes

hey millennials, take a gun put it to your buttocks and blow out what few brains you have, then maybe listen to this song again as you engage with your soul.

Ok boomer

Such a nice lovely caring song delivered in such a nice lovely caring way!!!

Stay Single , Girlfriends Suck And Rob You Of Every Piece Of Life You Might Have

I'm sure Ugly Kid Joe did other tracks even half as much justice as they did this... that being said this is an amazing cover.

ivymike83 It would be amazing if you sing it right. Listen to the original and then listen to this.

I've never meet my dad I don't even know who he is I want to know

I’m sorry

It's ok

I love it😍

Smashens pumpkins

This song makes my husband cry every time he hears it

@3.20 I cant stop crying.

Listening to this at work after doing 26 fucking 12-14 hour days straight, thinking about my boys, I quit that shit house job and have never looked back haha life's to short and precious to waste killing your self for a company that'll replace you in a heartbeat and never remember your name. Peace and love to all❤️

I'm 34 now and I've just come to the realization that I'm just like my dad. Not big on relationships and a secluded personality, but still a man who did regardless everything for his family. I know that you won't be around for long, but I want you to know that you grew up a son who has more possibilities in life than what you had. We don't know each other well, but I never questioned that you loved your sons and gave us the best life available. I love you always dad, even though people might not remember you as fondly as they should. You are a real fucking man!

No , no, no.

YEAH POP......JUST LIKE U....YA KNOW WE GET TOGETHER THEN SMOKE ALOT OF POT THEN..... TO MY HERO BEST FRIEND EVER IN LIFE....MY POPPA

WWE Network and the next one day you will be there at WWE Network

Listening to this and so glad I didn't turn out like my dad. I'm a proud, hardworking father of 4 beautiful girls.

Кад год слушате ову пјесму, сјетите се колико има Србске дјеце са извађеним бубрезима

The song is Gr8 and all...





But whos Joe?

The real question is what happened to yuri?

@Nascar Planet pretty sure she caught ligma

@Naja think she got it from Joe...

Love had been and us

Father told me, to be hard, not emotioned to get forward

Oi galera

Poor Barney...

very powerful lyrics

I never realised till now how much this song actually reflect my life. Grew up with my father in the army he was gone 6 months out of every year. I wanted to be just like him by the time I was ten and I realised I never wanted to be like him he missed out so much of my life. we had a fight on my 21st birthday I didnt speak to him for 18 years popped over two years ago first words out of his mouth is I dont have any money first thought if you are going to be like that fuck you. I sat spoke to him for a few minutes and left since he thinks it all about money im never going back

sooooo much better than the original!! love this band since i was 9 now im 30

My father never gave a fuck about me as a kid, I'm 46 now and he still don't bother with me and he's 76.

My dads still alive my mom died 4 years ago at 11 00 on christmas eve of cancer thats what my dad deserves i hope he has 5 times the pain that my mom had to go through my child hood was bad it was that bad so with a little luck ill get to see him out

You can always kill him.

dwight schrute brought me here 😂😂

Yes, I know a lot of people down there!

Broke my heart and all too true!!

Linda canção.

Well, I don't ever think I wanted to be like me Dad. I wanted to be more like me mum! I like to press wildflowers! I wear high heels, suspendies, and a bra! I put on women's clothing and hang around in bars!

he's a lumberjack and he's okay,

So strong and sad......AWESOME lyrics, sound and performance!

Cats In The Cradle"

My child arrived just the other day,
He came to the world in the usual way.
But there were planes to catch, and bills to pay.
He learned to walk while I was away.
And he was talking 'fore I knew it, and as he grew,
He'd say, "I'm gonna be like you, dad.
You know I'm gonna be like you."

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
"When you coming home, dad?" "I don't know when,
But we'll get together then.
You know we'll have a good time then."

My son turned ten just the other day.
He said, "Thanks for the ball, dad, come on let's play.
Can you teach me to throw?" I said, "Not today,
I got a lot to do." He said, "That's ok."
And he walked away, but his smile, lemme tell you,
Said, "I'm gonna be like him, yeah.
You know I'm gonna be like him."

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
"When you coming home, dad?" "I don't know when,
But we'll get together then.
You know we'll have a good time then."

Well, he came from college just the other day,

So much like a man I just had to say,
"Son, I'm proud of you. Can you sit for a while?"
He shook his head, and he said with a smile,
"What I'd really like, dad, is to borrow the car keys.

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
"When you coming home, son?" "I don't know when,
But we'll get together then, dad.
You know we'll have a good time then."

I've long since retired and my son's moved away.

You know we'll have a good time then."

I remember this being on mtv everyday day in the early 90’s

Charly85 I was almost 16 when this song came out

Awesome,Cat Stevens sings this too!❤🎼😊

If I go back there for a month and you don't show up I'm gone

I played this song in many bands over the years, I’m 60 now and I can’t stop listening to it for many reasons. Take care folks. Parents are people that can do only so much the rest is up to you.

awesome sing

This songs makes me think of my dad, sometimes it's makes me happy, and sometimes it makes me cry.

This song makes me think of batman and most of the time it gers me excited.

This sucks 😂😂😂😂

Never in the history of nigadrum have i hurd som so superb

When I was 7, I remember my Dad pointing a shotgun in the window. Insanely mad at my mother. That midnight morning, my Mom took all 7 of her boys across country to love with grandma. 9 years later I leave home to where my dad had lived and passed, I met his friends and loved ones and they told me that was the worst day of his life when my mother took us. I love my mom but she deprived all of us a father. Will always hurt.

This song really hits me hard (any version) cause it so reminds me of my late father. Amen.

Sad song for me Dad never appreciated anything I did or tryed to do now its 2 late

I like it this the songs when listening night day....ugly kidjoe..cool

This is one of those songs that take me back instantly to the 90s. Its a nice place to remember when things weren't so complicated and I had a whole life in front of me.

This is my batman song.

so true:(

Great version I love it, but I prefer the original.

Modern Family moment 😆😆😆

I love how the chorus goes from

"When are you coming home?"
"Son, I don't know when."

To

"When are you coming home, Son?"
"I don't know when."

@Matt Actually, Harry Chapan's version has the lyrics: "when are you coming home, *dad* ?" "I don't know when." Joe changed it to be "son" consistently. My comment literally only applies to this cover.

​@Brooklynn Laurick "And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
"When you coming home, son?" "I don't know when"
But we'll get together then, dad
You know we'll have a good time then" Exact chorus, nothing about the song is original, it's literally just a cover.

@Brooklynn Laurick Yes, and then the literal second half of the song changes to "son". Go listen to it. Also, it's ChapIN not ChapAN.

@Matt I _know_ it changes to "son" in the second half. That's irrelevant! I'm talking about the fact that (in the first chorus) Joe says "when are you coming home?" "Son, I don't know when" and keeps it consistent throughout the song, while Chapin changes from "dad" to "son" as the song progresses. What I liked was that replacing "dad" with "son" in the first chorus gave the same meaning in a different way. (Thanks for the correction, btw)

I lost my dad 8 yrs ago and im glad i spent good memories with him
