The lyrics below are adapted from the Brad Paisley song I’m still a guy. His lyrics are better but hey that doesn’t change the fact that I’m still a dad blogger.
When you see a dad blog you think Dads Suck
And I see man kicking Ass
When you see a SAHD you think looser
And I see a dad working hard
You’re probably thinking that you’re going to change me
In some ways well maybe you might
beat me down, Pull me up but no matter what
I’m still a dad blogger
When you see a priceless French painting
I see a drunk, naked girl (can’t change this)
You think that driving Chevy sounds crazy
And I’d like to give it a whirl
Well love makes a man do some things he’s proud of
And in a strong moment I might, show my love for my kids, show my love for my wife
But remember, I’m still a dad blogger
I’ll pour out my heart
Hold your hand in the car
Write a blog that makes you cry
Then turn right around write a blog about farting
‘Cause it’s funny that’s why!
I can hear you now talking to your friends
Saying, “Yeah moms he’s come a long way”
From dragging his knuckles and carrying a club
And building a fire in a cave
But when you say a mom blog means only a community
Then you say dads don’t get it when we try
Well, what can I say at the end of the day
Honey, I’m still a dad blogger
I’ll pour out my heart
Hold your hand in the car
Write a blog that makes you cry
Then turn right around write a blog about farting
‘Cause it’s funny that’s why!
These days there’s dudes getting laid off,
working from home, being dads and real men
With deeply held ethics and strong values
You can’t always please them all
With media and culture calling us neutered
It’s hip now to not have kids
I don’t buy that crap
I’ve still got a pair
Yeah honey, I’m still a dad blogger
Oh my writing ain’t perfect
Don’t care if you think my blogs suck
Oh thank God, I’m still a guy
