Working movie - Fathers & Sons lyrics

rate me

<br>

I heard a lot of songs say, "Where you goin' my son?"<br>

Now I know they're true,<br>

Boy you never stop to think how fast the years run,<br>

Now they've taken you.<br>

<br>

I remember you was three-and-a-half,<br>

Your ma and me would sit there after things got quiet then,<br>

We'd laugh at some new word you said,<br>

How tough you were to get to bed,<br>

And we planned the night away,<br>

Planning for our kid.<br>

<br>

I was your hero then,<br>

I couldn't do no wrong as far as you were concerned,<br>

You thought I was the best of men,<br>

The tables hadn't turned,<br>

You hadn't learned,<br>

How little time it takes,<br>

And daddies make mistakes.<br>

<br>

Seems to me that lately I've been thinking a lot,<br>

I think about my dad.<br>

Lots of funny things come back I thought I forgot,<br>

Now they make me sad.<br>

High school and it used to be,<br>

I didn't want him touching me and I shuddered if he did.<br>

Further back to summer nights, <br>

Baseball games beneath the lights and sleeping in the car,<br>

My daddy, and his kid.<br>

<br>

He was my hero then,<br>

He couldn't do no wrong as far as I was concerned,<br>

I thought he was the wisest, and the strongest, and the best of men,<br>

The tables hadn't turned,<br>

I hadn't learned,<br>

How little time it takes,<br>

Everybody breaks,<br>

And daddies make mistakes.<br>

<br>

I heard a lot of songs say, "Where you goin' my son?"<br>

Now I know they're for real,<br>

Boy you never stop to think how fast the years run,<br>

And the things they steal.<br>

Now it seems I always knew,<br>

Why I do the things I do and the things I never did,<br>

Why I worked my whole damn life,<br>

So's I could give the better life than the one my dad could give me,<br>

And give it to my kid.<br>

<br>
