Story behind the song
Written for Jack's Dad. And - No, this is not a song about dying. It is about growing up, leaving the ways of a boy behind and becoming a man, a responsible adult.
Lyrics
Damn it Daddy I'm Dying. I almost went today I believe Dad I'm dying, as every boy must one day This world is right, your boy's been wrong I need a cut. My hair's so long Damn it Daddy, I'm dying And no, I don't believe you'll miss me I saw friends of mine today They've all grown up, but I haven't changed They had smiles on their faces Cause they had their family, not friends I was thinking how I've been lonely And I was crying. Well, I guess I've been sad Rock 'n roll don't stop to phone me And I believe, well I believe I'm dying Dad Well Damn it Daddy I'm Dying. I almost went today I believe Dad I'm dying, as every boy must one day This world it's right, your boy's been wrong I need a cut. My hair's so long Damn it Daddy, I'm dying And no, I don't believe you'll miss me I've been walking wrong, please help me It's even hard it's so hard for me to stand And I've been lost so long reach out please Reach out and pull me back, a man See my best lady took to walking She didn't have what it takes to wait And every kid must grow up sometime It's just a shame, it's such a shame that I'm so late Well Damn it Daddy I'm Dying. I almost went today I believe Dad I'm dying, as every boy must one day This world is right, your boy's been wrong I need a cut. My hair's so long Damn it Daddy, I'm dying No, I don't believe you'll miss me
