Songs About Dad Are So Sad

Today when were tossing around songs Mike could choose for the Blue Plate Special, we started talking about songs that mention Dad, since Father's Day is Sunday. Have you ever noticed how many are so sad? Songs about Mom are all warm and fuzzy, but songs about Dad are so tragic; abandonment and poverty seem to be favorite themes. Even if it's a great song, the lyrics can be so sad! Check out this list of sad songs about Dad... and grab a tissue!
