Father and Son

When your Mom and I first got married Money was so tight I had to work three jobs just to make ends meet And I got home late every night When I walked through that door You were waiting there Clutching that beat up old teddy bear You said, "Hey Daddy you know it's time to play." When you were just a little boy Not much more than a baby You'd wait up for me until I got home from work Hey Son that time we spent together Really saved me When you were just a little boy I taught you how to catch and ride When to run and when to fight Tired to teach you wrong from right I did the best I could Our days together they did fly Like a flicker of an eye Now your packing your guitar You said, "Hey Dad I got to go play." When you were just a little boy Not much more than a baby You'd wait up for me until I got home from work Hey Son that time we spent together Really saved me When you were just a little boy Father and Son I remember how hard Mom cried I remember how hard it was to say goodbye I remember thinking now I'm really on my own I remember how you lived your life How you treated the kids and your wife Someday our Fathers all come to take us home You showed me how to do the best you can You taught me how to be a man Hey Dad tonight Johnny and I Are going out to play When I was just a little boy Not much more than a baby I'd wait in our yard until you got home from work Hey Dad that time we spent together Really saved me When I was just a little boy
