He wakes grabs a coffee then sits on the treadmill
Standing in the dark it just sits there still
I guess he really thought he'd get to it someday
When it came to him I guess I thought the same

My dad is a name on a wall
He can't play throw and catch the ball
My dad is a name on a wall
And they'll be no more names to call
My dad is a name on a wall
My dad is a name on a wall
My dad is a name on a wall
He's a name on a wall

They say he loved his job and he was a hero
How come I missed the call, I was the last to know
Yeah he will wear a tux but he won't walk me down the aisle
I wish that he'd come home say it's a joke and smile

My dad is a name on a wall
He can't play throw and catch the ball
My dad is a name on a wall
And they'll be no more names to call
My dad is a name on a wall
My dad is a name on a wall
My dad is a name on a wall
He's a name on a wall

Bridge:
Candles, flowers, and flags, I'll say I'm proud of my dad
Candles, flowers, and flags, I'll say I'm proud of my dad

My dad is a name on a wall
He can't play throw and catch the ball
My dad is a name on a wall
And they'll be no more names to call
My dad is a name on a wall
My dad is a name on a wall
My dad is a name on a wall
He's just a name on a wall
