"Checking In" lyrics

Hey there, Son
It's Dad again
I know you're busy
I'm just checking in
Just call me later
If you get a chance
I don't want nothing
I was just wondering how you been

There's no telling how many times
I've let that message play
He's been gone a while
But it still feels like yesterday
I even call him back sometimes
Wishing he'd pick up again
And I got a lot more to say these days
Then I did back then
Hey Dad, it's me, checking in

I'm doing alright
Works been a little hard
But don't worry, I told Mom
I'd be by to cut the yard
These kids are good
Yeah, you'd sure be proud
I probably should let you go
I'm just missing you right now

There's no telling how many times
I've let that message play
He's been gone a while
But it still feels like yesterday
I even call him back sometimes
Wishing he'd pick up again
I got a lot more to say these days
Then I did back then
Hey Dad, it's me, checking in
Oh
I'm just checking in
Oh

There's no telling how many times
I've let that message play
He's been gone a while
But it still feels like yesterday
I even call him back sometimes
Wishing he'd pick up again
I got a lot more to say these days
Then I did back then
Yeah, I got a lot more to say these days
Then I did back then
Hey Dad, it's me, checking in
Checking in
I'm just checking in
Checking in, checking in

Hey there, Son
It's Dad again
I know you're busy
I'm just checking in
