Daddy
Cameron Bedell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Think I've changed my mind a couple hundred times
I've got so many dreams
Whether it's putting out fires, leading a choir or going pro shooting threes
I try and I try to be satisfied, chasing those things I love
But the further I go down this road, I'm starting to find most of all
I can't wait to hear your footsteps running down the hall
The bottle, the blanket, the crying and all
I can't wait to wrap him up when bathtime ends
Lay down in bed with green eggs and ham
Just the thought of those eyes, smiling back at me
I can't wait to be a daddy
Yeah I write a lot of songs and people sing along
I love being on the stage
Something about the lights, the chords and their eyes
Where I find my place
I got a lot to get done, a bunch of number ones
With platinum and gold along the way
But the further I go down this road, I'm starting to find more than anything
I can't wait to hear your footsteps running down the hall
The bottle, the blanket, the crying and all
I can't wait to wrap him up when bathtime ends
Lay down in bed with green eggs and ham
Just the thought of those eyes, smiling back at me
I can't wait to be a daddy
Well she woke me up late last night
Said honey I've got a surprise
I opened my eyes to see two pink lines staring back at me




I'm gonna be a daddy
I can't wait to be a daddy
