Verse 1
It’s funny how this day got its name
Like I earned it all on my own
But every laugh and every little change
Came from a girl I’ve known
Yeah, I might be called “the dad”
But truth is plain to see
Every little thing that made me that
She brought out of me
Pre-Chorus
It ain’t the big moments people say
It’s the small ones every day
Chorus
It’s the way you bend the rules just to make the game last longer
Sayin’ “Daddy don’t be mad” when you know you played it wrong, yeah
It’s the way you cheat to win and I pretend I never see
Girl, you don’t know what that does to me
It’s Feathers Day, not Father’s Day
‘Cause you’re the reason that I’m this way
Verse 2
Twister on the living room floor
You pushed me down just to win
You smile like you didn’t do it before
But I’d lose again and again
And when you ask me what to choose
Between dresses two or three
There’s only one that I can’t refuse
The one you want from me
Pre-Chorus
And if I get it wrong, you say
“Are you sure?” in that sweet way
Chorus
It’s the way you bend the rules just to make the game last longer
Sayin’ “Daddy don’t be mad” when you know you played it wrong, yeah
It’s the way you cheat to win and I pretend I never see
Girl, you don’t know what that does to me
It’s Feathers Day, not Father’s Day
‘Cause you’re the reason that I’m this way
Bridge
Pull my finger anytime, anywhere, don’t matter when
That’s our joke, don’t let nobody else step in
You don’t like it if another tries to take your place
That little jealous smile on your face
Now you’re nine and learning lines
Like “If you love me, then you’d let me…” every time
And when I say I’m hungry, you just grin and say
“I’m better than food, right dad?”—yeah, you win that way
Break
And I laugh, ‘cause you don’t even know
You already run my whole world
Final Chorus
It’s the way you turn my days into something I remember
All the little things I know I’ll miss someday forever
Yeah, I thought I was the one who taught you everything
But you’ve been teaching me
It’s Feathers Day, not Father’s Day
You’re the reason that I’m this way
Outro
So if they ask me what this day’s about
I’ll tell ‘em honestly
It ain’t about the dad I am right now
It’s about the girl who made me me
So keep your guilt trips and your little grin
keep your ties and your BBQ
I got better plans with you
It’s funny how this day got its name
Like I earned it all on my own
But every laugh and every little change
Came from a girl I’ve known
Yeah, I might be called “the dad”
But truth is plain to see
Every little thing that made me that
She brought out of me
Pre-Chorus
