rate me

He was thinking back when he was a kid <br />His folks were divorced <br />His old man high on something <br />Came knocking at the door <br />His mama wouldn't talk to him <br />She said boy dontcha let him in <br /> <br />She was cussing and pacing and wasting her life <br />On that linoleum floor <br />He took him back to his old apartment <br />Turned off the TV <br />His beautiful broken hero on the couch <br />Passed out asleep <br />And he put 'em to bed <br />With tears in his eyes <br />He said dad I love you, Goodbye <br /> <br />He headed out into the night <br />Seventeen years old <br />Fired up that rusty old pickup <br />Turned his collar to the cold <br />And he headed back to mama's place <br />Ready for his big escape <br />And he tiptoed up the stairs and left a note <br />In the cover's fold <br /> <br />It said mom I wish I could wave a wand <br />And make you smile again <br />Bring back the man who stole your heart <br />'fore the demons got to him <br />If I stay here any longer <br />Something sacreds gonna die <br />He said mom I love you, Goodbye <br /> <br />Took a lot of wrong turns on the road <br />Finding his life <br />By the grace of God he ended up <br />With a little boy and a wife <br />And the phone call came from his sister <br />It was that old familiar pain <br />His mother was at the doorstep <br />Of heaven's pure white light <br /> <br />At the end of the service <br />His father came up to him <br />Clear eyed and sober now he said <br />Boy Jesus took my sins <br />And I pray someday maybe you'll forgive me too <br />With tears in his eyes <br />He said son I love you, Goodbye <br /> <br />His plane touched down in Texas <br />He pulled out his phone <br />Dialed in the number, got the machine <br />Of his old man's home <br />He said dad we got an extra room <br />And your grandson has your eyes <br />Couldn't say anything else <br />Cause he started to cry <br />And he choked out dad I love you, Goodbye <br /> <br />Dad I love you, Goodbye<br /><br />
