Jace Everett - Between A Father And A Son lyrics

rate me

Heywood was a daddy in 1942<br />

He couldn't read or make his letters<br />

He said, "Boy, I hope you don't do like I did"<br />

And that was my dad he was talking to<br />

<br />

So, my father grew up stronger<br />

Bigger dreams and bigger plans<br />

The first to go to college<br />

But he can still work hard with his two hands<br />

Thanks to his old man<br />

<br />

Yeah, he learned to throw a baseball<br />

How to sail a fishing line<br />

He learned about forgiveness<br />

'Cause you just can't waste the time<br />

<br />

And the circle goes unbroken<br />

But there's so much left undone<br />

That's just how it is<br />

Between a father and a son<br />

<br />

Well, I became a daddy<br />

At the age of twenty-three<br />

I didn't know what I was doing<br />

And my daddy wouldn't [Incomprehensible]<br />

I felt lost at sea<br />

<br />

So, I just kept it simple<br />

Took it one day at a time<br />

And followed in the foot-steps<br />

Of the men that came before me in my life<br />

And we're doing just fine<br />

<br />

'Cause you learn to throw a baseball<br />

How to sail a fishing line<br />

And you learn about forgiveness<br />

'Cause you just can't waste the time<br />

<br />

And the circle goes unbroken<br />

But there's so much left undone<br />

But that's just how it is<br />

Between a father and a son<br />

<br />

And the circle goes unbroken<br />

But there's so much left undone<br />

And that's just how it is<br />

Oh, that's just how it is<br />

Between a father and a son<br />

A father and a son<br />

Between a father and a son
