Come To Poppa
Bob Seger · Night Moves [1976]
And the moon, the moon
Won't shine for you tonight
If the stars in the sky gone away
And you feel feelin' real slow down today
If life gets hard to understand
And the whole thing is getting out of hand
Come to poppa, come see your poppa
If you need a pacifier
Call me anytime, I'll try to be your satisfier
If you feel like a horse, blazin' at the bit
Call my number anytime night or day
I'll get ya fixed if life gets hard to understand
And your whole life is way out of hand
Come to poppa, come see your poppa
