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
