Daddy's on the porch
First pack's in the ashtray
It's fifteen past
Class started right at 8
And Ms. Johnson knows why I'm not there
All that's in the fridge is Wonder Bread and mayonnaise
Wonder if you know Saturday's my birthday
Even if he did, he wouldn't care
Wasn't Coke in his Sonic cup
Never knew him never drunk
It's kinda sad when your hero's face down in his Cheerios
I know which footsteps mean I gotta lock the door
Screamin' that he's sorry like it's somethin' I ain't heard before
I know when to put a shot in his coffee
I should've been a kid, but he robbed me
Wasn't Coke in his Sonic cup
Never knew him never drunk
It's kinda sad when your hero's face down in his Cheerios
Had to grow up way too fast
Take the school bus from hell and back
I wanna be mad
But then he goes face down in his Cheerios
And for sixteen years, he'd pass out on the couch
So I'd put him to bed and I picked up the house
And I wish I could say that he's clean and he's changed
But I washed my hands and his still shake
Wasn't Coke in his Sonic cup
Never knew him never drunk
It's kinda sad when your hero's face down in his Cheerios
