about

No child ever had such luck.

lyrics

my daddy grew up picking fruit in Washington and Oregon and California
he went to school for free, and graduated cum laude when I was four or five
and the day we bought the house with the pool was the proudest day of his life

CHORUS
He'd say, look here at this pool
everytime I sweep it, I think,
never thought I'd be someone with a pool in my backyard

Well it ain't wise to fantasize about times
that probably weren't that different, much
but we weren't at war officially and people
didn't seem to cheat so much
besides I know those times were good, cuz I was told
no child had ever had such luck

CHORUS

economics and politics
they don't fit into songs too well
but this is just a song about dad
he was poor but smart and did pretty well

and no offense, America, but it seems to me
that we ain't getting the same deal

CHORUS
