Had A Dad (Demo) Lyrics by Jane’s Addiction

Been Caught Stealing (Single)

1990

[Intro]
Uh!
[Verse 1]
I had a dad, big and strong
I turned around, found my daddy gone
He was the one, made me what I am today
It's up to me now, daddy has gone away
[Verse 2]
Well, I spoke to the mountain, I listened to the sea
Both said that the fountain was the best that you can be
My daddy's hand, growed slow to the lickin'
Sonny boy, grow to whip him
[Interlude]
Uh! What?
[Bridge]
If you see my dad, tell him my brothers
All gone mad, beatin' on each other
I walked around and even tried to call
I got that funny feelin', he ain't there at all, yeah!
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
If you see my dad, tell him my brothers
All gone mad, beatin' on each other
Walked around and even tried to call
I had that funny feelin', he ain't there
At all, yeah!
[Verse 1]
I had a dad, big and strong
I turned around, but then I found my daddy gone
Yeah, he was the one who made me what I am today
It's up to me now, daddy has gone away
[Outro]
Gone away, gone away
Gone away, gone away
Said I had, had a dad
Yeah, I had, had a dad
I had, I had, said, I had, oh, hey
