Dad's Sailboat - 8Track

There's a for sale sign on my dad's sailboat

Don't even ask mom why 'cause I already know

Yeah, I knew he'd get old, but I don't know, I guess

Had no idea it was gonna hurt like this

We used to see who could hug the tightest and I couldn't take him

Now I barely even squeeze 'cause I feel like I'ma break him

Bet he wonders why it takes me so long to let go

There's a for sale sign on my dad's sailboat

Part of me wants to tear it down and let it drown in the river

Forget the inevitable and pretend that heroes live forever

Part of me wants to buy it and keep it like I wish I could him

But I know that ain't gon' make dad young again

Tears don't care if I don't want 'em to come

I'm tryna take it like a man, but I'm takin' it like a son

Takin' it like a son

His hands shake just like his dad's did

When he was my age and I was just a kid

You could tell in his cellphone number that he wrote

On that for sale sign on my dad's sailboat

Part of me wants to tear it down and let it drown in the river

Forget the inevitable and pretend that heroes live forever

Part of me wants to buy it and keep it like I wish I could him

But I know that ain't gon' make dad young again

Tears don't care if I don't want 'em to come

I'm tryna take it like a man, but I'm takin' it like a son

Takin' it like a son

Guess I saw it comin', I just acted blind

Like my dad could beat up Father Time

Part of me wants to tear it down and let it drown in the river

Forget the inevitable and pretend that heroes live forever

Part of me wants to buy it and keep it like I wish I could him

But I know that ain't gon' make dad young again

Tears don't care if I don't want 'em to come

I'm tryna take it like a man, but I'm takin' it like a son

Takin' it like a son
