Paul Westerberg Visitor's Day lyrics

Well it wouldn't hurt you to see your grandma
Every now and then, I'm sure your ma would drive
Don't bother visiting my father
Since they laid him out yonder, when he died

You could try calling one of your aunties
Leave a message, tell them you want me to be surprised
But I wouldn't be upset
If they were taking care of their pets
And there was no reply

On visitor's say, I'd love to hear you say
I miss you Daddy,you were on my mind
On visitor's day, in my cell, I'll stay
If I don't see you, I'll figure you couldn't get a ride

You can count on your uncle
Call when he's drunk, he'll
offer you a lift anytime

Then once he's thrown up
You'll know he'll never show up
Cause he's waiting til you cry


On visitor's day, I long to hear you say
I miss you Daddy,you were on my mind
On visitor's day, in my cell, I'll stay
If I don't see you, I'll figure you couldn't catch a ride

Ain't nothing sadder than hell
Than staying in your cell on visitor's day
All the way to visitor's night

On visitor's day, I'd love to hear you say
I miss you daddy,you were on my mind
On visitor's day, in my cell, I'll stay
If I don't see you, I'll figure you couldn't get a ride

By the time you get your license
I'll be up for parole twice and
twice denied
Maybe it's better, you're only eleven
You can lie all you want without having to look me
