Kid Rock - Single Father Lyrics






Latley ive been spendin lots of time with my kid
Tellin him stories
About the things that we did
When we were a family
Long time ago
Ive answerd his questions
Till im blue in the face
Wish all that hurt in him
I could erase
But i tell him the truth
Cause he aint to young to know

Single father
Part time mother
When im not one
Then im the other
You used to be
My full time lover
Now im a single father
And a part time mother

I spend every minute
I can with my boy
Theres no doubt about it
Hes my pride and joy
Someday he will grow up
And i wont have him no more
Some things i just find
Too hard to exsplain
So we go to mcdonalds
Or i buy him a train
And we go put it together
On the living room floor

Such is the life
Of a single father
He says daddy exsplain
If its not too much bother
While its just you and me
Living here in this home
I dont understand it
And neither does he
Why theres just two
When there should be three of us
Sharing this moment
Lord i feel so alone

[repeat chorus]

    I love spending time with my daughter

  2. C.... M....

    This always reminds me of my brother years ago raising his baby boys by himself. Always made me sad thinking of them alone.

  3. D.... M....

    Amazing song full of love and soul. This world needs more of both.

  4. r.... c....

    I've been raising my son since he was 3 hes 10 now I've tried my best to protect him from the promises and missed calls missed visitations and a few yrs of his mother going in and out of his life. I always tell him I'm not the greatest but I have always been here for him and will always be

    I’m 48 now and I’ve raised my daughter since she was 6 months old her mother got hooked on drugs n left us but I got the better end of the deal I sacrificed n worked my ass off raising my daughter and taught her from wrong n right and she has grown into a beautiful young lady who just graduated college n will start medical school in the fall I’m so very proud of her

  17. P.... M....

    My children don't understand quit yet how badly I did had needed to be a single parent and wasn't trying to abandon them it was my childhood I couldn't wake early but couldn't stay fighting and now at 47almost at 50i can wake and the music had nothing bad to do with me it's giving me my strough to day and to no I had only needed one partner or none

  18. D.... H....

    I have been a single father since my son was 2, now he’s 9. My sons mother is in her own world and can’t be bothered with are son. I’m starting to see more and more women who walk out of their kids lives. It’s not just men who are dead beats anymore. Just pisses me off more when a woman does it because they made the choice to have that child. And then to turn and walk out of that child’s life.

  19. R.... C....

    I love you so much son.every dad/son song/TV show/movie makes me think about you and my dad, your grandpa.r.i.p Daddy, and I love you Zach.

I have had my 2 girls and son every motherdays for the past 3 years. The kids rather be with me then their mom. Wish it wasn't like that wish we were a family but hey I'm supper dad and I'm doing the best job I can raising these kids.

  52. J.... B....

    No disrespect to kid rock love his music and everything he does but if I could redo this song to fit me i would call it single mother ( part time father) but that's just me that's how I grew up like I said I'm not disrespecting kid rock or anything like that I love his music and respect him fully

    I may not be a father, but the way I look at this song in my perspective, is that I'm Kid Rock, and my feelings of heartbreak and regret are my kid. I can't explain my own feelings quite often.

    I was only 20 when my 1 month year old daughter was dropped off at a fire station (who I had no idea existed) I was on training and had no idea she was there cuz I can't use a phone my mom took care of her for another 2 weeks when I came home I learned. No one had faith in me they said I can't raise a kid. The mom gave me adoption papers everyone told me to sign them and give up my daughter Ariahahna (are-re-a-ah-na) I almost did but then said no I got my life together decided not to join the military went to collage got a good job, a house, and started buying diapers, clothes, toys, stroller, car seat, crib, play pen etc. I gave up my life to be a father but I'm glad I did because I was lost before but now I have a reason a reason to wake up and go to work a reason to spend my money responsible. She gave me a life I would never trade her for anything
    I have no help from family or friends. Us single mothers and fathers got this! I love you Aria

    A great song. been a single father for about 14 years , two beautiful children ...........

  90. G.... 2....

    Oh...(sniff)...oh...that was beautiful. This is exactly what my Mom had to go through after my Dad left us when I was four. I'm in my mid-twenty's now, and my Mom is still going strong.

  91. f.... ....

    Single Father to 5yr old and 9yr old daughters. Best thing in this world. Full time job and wouldn't trade it for ANYTHING!!! To all the single parents, put your girls AND or boys in gymnastics. Creates a path of strength, flexibility, work ethic, balance, confidence, failure and reward building a future and foundation for success. It's awesome to watch And i love the shirts they have. "if gymnastics were any easier, they'd call it football." Haha

    Good old girl power stuff!!! They definitely need it to these days!!!

  92. B.... G....

    This song hits home not just for single parents but those of us who have husbands and wives who are gone a lot like military wives/husbands or like me my husband is a trucker I get he does it for our family but it's still hard basically being a single parent and trying to explain to a 2 year old daddy's boy why his daddy is gone.

  93. N.... C....

    My Dad is a single father im 13. My Mom died when I was 2. My Dad puts this on and miss my Mom so much. I knew her for two years I didn´t really know her.

  94. C.... C....

    Whenever I hear this song it makes me cry because my mom committed suicide when I was 2. And I remember asking my dad where is mom why did she leave Mom I miss you.
