  • Hey there, son
    It's dad again
    I know you're busy
    I'm just checking in
    Just call me later
    If you get a chance
    I don't want nothing
    I was just wondering how you been

    There's no telling how many times
    I've let that message play
    He's been gone a while
    But it still feels like yesterday
    I even call him back sometimes
    Wishing he'd pick up again
    And I got a lot more to say these days
    Then I did back then
    Hey, dad, it's me, checking in

    I'm doing alright
    Work's been a little hard
    But don't worry, I told mom
    I'd be by to cut the yard
    These kids are good
    Yeah, you should be proud
    I probably should let you go
    I'm just missing you right now

    There's no telling how many times
    I've let that message play
    He's been gone a while
    But it still feels like yesterday
    I even call him back sometimes
    Wishing he'd pick up again
    I got a lot more to say these days
    Then I did back then
    Hey, dad, it's me, checking in
    Oh
    I'm just checking in
    Oh, yeah

    There's no telling how many times
    I've let that message play
    He's been gone a while
    But it still feels like yesterday
    I even call him back sometimes
    Wishing he'd pick up again
    I got a lot more to say these days
    Then I did back then
    Yeah, I got a lot more to say these days
    Then I did back then
    Hey, dad, it's me, checking in
    Checking in
    I'm just checking in
    Checking in, checking in

    Hey there, son
    It's dad again
