My Father Does Not Care

Andy Grammer


My father does not care
In the same way my wife's eyes glaze over
on NFL Game Day, he does not care
Like talking stocks with six year-old children
It's not that they don't wanna listen
it's that they don't care
Like a butcher at a vegan farmer's market
A sober man at an Irish bar
Like me at your escape room birthday party, he does not care
I called my dad when I got my first record deal in
I was very excited, lots of emotions and feelings
I said, "Dad, I made it and the check is pretty big"
I said, "Dad, you're gonna have a very successful kid
So I'ma buy a house, I'ma buy you one, too
With a gate, and the clickers, and the big, open rooms"
I said, "Dad, don't you worry, this is just the beginning
The tables are tipping, we're finally winning"
He responded like, like my 85 year-old grandma
completely unamused
With an iPhone in her hand like, "What does this even do? "
Like an American at a criquet match, confused
He said, "Son, that's fantastic, I'm so happy for you"
You see, my father does not care about anything but my heart
He knows that wealth an wroth have always been
super far apart
And when I showed him my BMW had the new push star
He faked enthusiasm terribly like, "Yeah... great car... "
My father's eyes light up when I talk about my soul
He wants details of every kid I sang to at the hospital
And we could talk for hours about anything
I've ever done for the homeless
And when my prayer game is strong
and I'm sent there, he notices
See, the thing about sons, we just wanna make our dads proud
We know the songs they like
and then we sing those extra loud
I'm pretty clear on how to get my father's attention now
Be of service to myself or to others, that's how
Now, some day I might be massive
with my face up in Times Square
But when I fly, I only fly private, through the air
Some day, I might become a bajillion-gazillionaire
But the best part is that my father does not care
