“Lame Dad mythology. Our guy is older and now has a family. He’s become a happy doofus. He gets too drunk at a wedding, embarrasses himself, and his wife drives him home and puts him to bed. He wakes up hungover with the sun too bright, amazed at his good fortune to have someone next to him who care...
[Verse 1]
Did you say it was black tie?
I lost a button, but it fits just fine
Remind me what time
Do you kids still high five?
Cool Dad is fun, Cool Dad's your favorite guy!
Watch me on the floor
[Chorus 1]
Ball and Chain, what would I be
Without this weight that's pullin' me?
Down and out and back again
Don't ask me
Don't ask me
[Verse 2]
So I'm givin' you these keys
Ten minutes more, no matter what I say
Then the Irish goodbye
The seat's up too far
Back roads I'm spinning with the starry sky
Pour me out at home
[Chorus 2]
Ball and Chain, what would I be
Without this weight that's pullin' me?
Down and out and back again
Don't ask me
Don't ask me
[Verse 3]
I'm a little bit surprised
I sleep for fifty years, and you're still here
Takin' up my side
And the sun moves so fast
Too fast to see, too bright to look too long
I open up my eyes
[Chorus 3]
Ball and Chain, what would I be
Without this weight that's pullin' me?
Down and out and back again
Don't ask me
Don't ask me
