Dad's coming

Dad's coming
I can hear him in the hall
He's been drinking
I can smell it from here

This ain't good
No matter what I say
No matter what I do
I will get a beating

Dad's good
Dad's great
I love him with all my heart
But
When he's been drinking
Best to stay apart

Mom left him
Mom left us both
Without a word
Just went away

Now it's just me and dad
Sometimes it's fun
But when he gets mad

I have been beaten
From time to time
I have had a fat lip
A blackened eye

Blood spilt
All because of the abuse

I love my dad
I really do
I just wish
He'd stop the booze
