The Phone Call&lt;br&gt;
Well when he got the phone call it gave him quite a fright&lt;br&gt;
‘Cause a call from home is rare enough especially at midnight&lt;br&gt;
He answered kind of nervous, a voice said, “This is dad&lt;br&gt;
I was sitting here and thought of you and it made me really sad.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
“I know I’ve been a hard mad to live with in my life.&lt;br&gt;
You’d think that I just didn’t care ‘cause all we did was fight.&lt;br&gt;
And you probably hate me more than anyone&lt;br&gt;
But I still love you son.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
“That time when you were 14 that bully blacked your eye&lt;br&gt;
We tracked him down and I made you fight until you made him cry.&lt;br&gt;
I know this worn out feeling the things that I’ve done wrong&lt;br&gt;
That drove a wedge between our hearts and drove you from our home&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
“I made you give up football so you could bail my hay.&lt;br&gt;
I made you give up Jenny and then she got away.&lt;br&gt;
Any you probably hate me more than anyone&lt;br&gt;
But I still love you son.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
“For all the love I never gave I’m sorry for that now.&lt;br&gt;
And for all the things I didn’t say I want to say somehow.&lt;br&gt;
But I guess I’d better hang up because I probably called too late&lt;br&gt;
But if you could find it in your heart to forgive me that’d be great.&lt;br&gt;
But you probably hate me more than anyone&lt;br&gt;
But I still love you son.”&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
And then he heard the dial tone and then his front doorbell&lt;br&gt;
And his mother stood there all alone not looking very well&lt;br&gt;
She said, “I drove three hours – didn’t make one stop&lt;br&gt;
‘Cause tonight your daddy passed away just before eight o’clock.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
“At first he talked about you like he ain’t done in years,&lt;br&gt;
And you might not believe this but, god, he cried real tears.&lt;br&gt;
He said you probably hate him more than anyone&lt;br&gt;
But he still loved you son.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
“And he said, ‘For all the love I never gave I’m sorry for that now.’&lt;br&gt;
And he said, “For all the things I didn’t say I want to say somehow.’&lt;br&gt;
He said you probably hate him more than anyone&lt;br&gt;
But he still loved you son.”&lt;br&gt;
He still loved you son.&lt;br&gt;
