Drugstore Birthday Card
(c) Townley / Jones


(verse 1)
Hey dad, your birthday’s comin up this weekend
Seems strange to talk about it, now that you are gone
Been hard to find a card sayin’ what I’m feeling
With all these tears taggin’ along  

(chorus)
Hey dad, The fish aint biting much without you
The kids are beggin me for grandpa jokes
Every holiday’s been hard
Tryin’ to heal my heart
With a drugstore birthday card

(verse 2)
You always liked the ones that played some music
What I wouldn’t give right now, to hear you sing off key
Need one with tender words not too poetic
And space for some “from the heart” from me

(chorus)
Dad, I miss your voice and timely wisdom
Seeing the way you always loved mom
This birthday will be hard
to heal my heart
With  a drugstore birthday card

(Bridge)
I know you don’t have an address  in heaven 
But I’m gonna mail this to you anyway
In care of God, with a crayon stamp drawn on it
And wait to hear back from you when I pray

(chorus)
Dad, The fish aint biting much without you
The kids are beggin me for grandpa jokes
Every holiday’s been hard
Tryin’ to heal my heart
With…. a drugstore birthday card
Hope you get this drugstore birthday card

Hey Dad, The fish aint biting much without you
