In His Car

After an arguement in his car was where I would find my daddy Living there GroomING in rearview mirrors Sittting like it was the most normal thing His home away from home I guess But to see the look on his face Life was passing by As he slept the night away in his car I knew he'd much rather be Inside the house Watching me grow I would wave to him on my way to school So hard for me to comprehend why daddy couldn't just come home My mom found unsual ways to punish him she never knew that it hurted me just being on the outside looking in Watching him in his car day after day I learned some things about life That I never wanted to learn How cold. How lonley. He must have been in his car. NO LOVE INSIDE. Just a place to be A small insane assylum Where he was being sentenced Sometimes I wondered why he stayed lounging in his car But than I realized it was Cause he loved my mommy So he'd sleep in that car for centuries Just to get back on her good side
