Tata vozi polako

danima putujem ja
od umora ne mogu vise
oci zeljne su sna
Dok ljudi uvijek nekud zure
i nervozno pritiscu gas
na radiju sto uvijek u autu mi svira
cujem jedan njezan djeciji glas
Ref.
Tata vozi polako
vrati se sretnom domu svom
bez tebe uvijek ostaje prazno
mjesto u srcu mom
Tata vozi polako
vrati se sretnom domu svom
nasa mama uvijek je sama
dok ceka na povratak tvoj
Tata vozi polako
