43. Son of my Old Man |
LyricsThe Son of My Old ManI don't see how it's right I don't see how I can I've wrestled it all night I'm just a humble man I can't stand funerals And wakes are even worse They want me to speak A Eulogy of sorts As I straighten out my tie And gaze at my reflection Unsure its he or I Looking my direction 1st chorus Sure he drank too much. So do I! Cursed an awful lot. So do I! Give the shirt off his back. I'd do the same Liked a night out on the town. Can't be blamed Used to flirt with all the girls. Just like me Laid his claim on this world, as far as I could see Uncommonly gifted at fatherly love. Guess he was my biggest fan Jeez I'm just like him! The son of my old man! They say I sound like him And even have his gait My aunts still pinch my cheeks It's a family trait To all his friends at work He bragged a lot bout me Called me best he'd ever done For all the world to see He said this is my boy Don't he look like me? Spiting image of The man that he will be 2nd Chorus Sure he drank too much. So do I! Cursed an awful lot. So do I! Always lived by the good book, I'm the same Led with his fists & his heart, I do the same Uncommonly gifted at fatherly love Took his guidance from God above But he'd never pass the buck, that's why I was his biggest fan Jeez I'm just like him! The son of my old man BRIDGE This funeral aint so bad Glad we honored his name Letting all his friends See what I became CHORUS |
