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'm just wondering how you've 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've got a lot more to say these days than 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've got a lot more to say these days than I did back then
Hey dad it's me, checking in

Ooh, I'm just checking in

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've got a lot more to say these days than I did back then
Yeah I've got a lot more to say these days than 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
I know you're busy, I'm just checking in
