Flashbacks

I thought that mom and dad were 'sposed to last forever Like they promised at the altar in Alabama They were young, in love, and didn't know any better Yeah, they planned to start a family there together Things they changed when you walked away You left me wondering if you ever cared I wish you stayed, but I'll be okay 'Cause I learned from you that life's not always fair I've been getting flashbacks Of hearing you fight behind the door Know you'll never call back I don't even miss you anymore 'Cause I've been doing fine without you in my life I've been getting flashbacks I've been getting flashbacks Driving down the highway to the school yard And you'd tell me stories 'bout when you were young You used to be my hero, and then you put up your guard I used to be so proud to be your son Things they change when you walked away It's funny how the table's gone and turned From 4 to 3, when we go out to eat And momma's sitting by herself again I've been getting flashbacks Of hearing you fight behind the door Know you'll never call back I don't even miss you anymore 'Cause I've been doing fine without you in my life I've been getting flashbacks I've been getting flashbacks Now I know How not to treat the loved ones I outgrow Take me home Before we got caught in the undertow I've been getting flashbacks Of hearing you fight behind the door Know you'll never call back I don't even miss you anymore 'Cause I've been doing fine without you in my life I've been getting flashbacks I've been getting flashbacks Driving down the highway to the school yard And you'd tell me stories 'bout when you were young You used to be my hero, and then you put up your guard I used to be so proud to be your son
