Who are you? |
|
And where did you go? |
|
And where are you from? |
|
And what do you know? |
|
You're in my blood |
|
And you're in my hair |
|
You're in my heart |
|
And you're in the air |
|
I met you once over the phone |
|
You sounded sad and you seemed alone |
|
You left me but I never left you |
|
I never had the chance to |
|
Music was the one thing |
|
We would have had in common |
|
You were my age when I was born |
|
Would I have done what you did? |
|
Would I do what you have done? |
|
I like to think I'm a bigger man than that |
|
You had some problems with alcohol |
|
You took 12 steps and you solved them all |
|
It took 16 years for you to call |
|
What gave you the brave to pick up that ball? |
|
You played the trumpet and the drums |
|
While my mom sang at funerals |
|
I play guitar til my hands are numb |
|
You two are where music comes from, for me |
|
So thank you so much for not raising me |
|
You spent your life on better things |
|
And you would have been an awful dad |
|
Thank you though for those genes you had |
