Sundrud-Bickhardt-Darling Third Sunday every June I'm on the road back home To celebrate the finest man I've ever known I bought a tie he won't wear A silly card to make him laugh And you can bet he'll have a few new jokes If I know my old man I'm heading home for Father's Day To hear him tell it like it was Back when a man knew who to fight And who to trust The world made sense, he'll say to me In the good ol' used to be
Or at least it seemed that way In my Father's Day One job for forty years One house and one wife The kind of thing you seldom see in modern life Oh, I love hearing his rose colored memories I've heard 'em all a hundred times But there's no place I'd rather be I live my life so I can face him Every year when I embrace him I thank him for showing me the way Third Sunday every june I'm on the road back home
