Deacon Blu

You can't control what life presents you Keep it moving man one day you'll make it through And at times, yea we've all played the fool Dust yourself off and just do you Keep it moving man one day you'll make it through Set your goals high be sure to stay true It all started 5/30/74 I came into this world I was wanting more Yea mom stayed home dad had a j.o.b But even in G ville man it wasn't enough cheese So we packed a Uhaul, hit 95, up to NY, LI. when I was about 5 10 months to the day my dad broke out to f LA, And mom and I stayed in a one bedroom apartment No dad on the first day of school Mom had to work a job just to buy food Thank god for pop pop always stopping by Mom had pride but needed help just to get by I cried every night for months when my father left Looking back yea man yo it's for the best I had to put this down on paper for me to use CL, and the history of deacon blue You can't control what life presents you Keep it moving man one day you'll make it through And at times, yea we've all played the fool Dust yourself off and just do you Keep it moving man one day you'll make it through Set your goals high be sure to stay true Now im a grown man with a family of my own TO get to where im at it"s a long road im still on Motivated is how I got here today Knuckleheaded, yea man I paved my own way I listened to no one when I should've take advice Went back to school when I was a dad with a wife Held a 9 to 5, some called it a career If it wasn't for mom and EJ I probably wouldn't be here Age old wisdom, things I could've seen Now I don't have time for dad who had no time for me I'm a man I keep it moving life is short you see To my kids I am who my father could never be I Call it how I see, yea it's like that Too late in the game man we can't get those years back I still remember the record, you gave to me Yea my favorite song, deacon blue
