This song has the vibe of "Sweet Sadie" by The Spinners. This is a response to the writing prompt, write a song from the perspective of a child to a parent
Oh dad, you're not the best dad, but you're the best dad for me. Oh dad you're not the best dad, but you're the best dad for me.
Dad, it's been a while, I know we've never seen eye to eye, but as far as dad's go you gave me life, I'll be your child till I die.
I know you try your best in your way, even though it didn't always come through.
You've got the best taste in music and you strive for excellence in all you do.
When it comes right down to it, you're an original kind of guy. You march to the beat of your own drummer, and in a way so do I.
You gave me the gift of family, I'll never have a better or another
And you couldn't have picked a better woman, to be my mother.
I say all of this to thank you for all you did and didn't do. This song here's my way of saying,
that I'll always love you.
Oh dad, you're not the best dad, but you're the best dad for me. Oh dad, you're not the best dad, but you're the best dad for me.

That's such good authentic view. Yup your parents are your parents. Very good observation very well written.
