Lyrics to My Father's Son
"The moon ainât made of cheese", youâd say,
"so find your own truths along the way",
but Santa Claus in his magic sleigh
had to be you in the rain that day.
And the Super Heroes on TV,
Saturdays weâd pretend to be,
youâd say, "Boys, well it seems to me,
youâre the best heroes this world will ever see.
Youâre the best heroes this world will ever see."
And after allâs been said and done
and my battles for independence won,
Iâm proud to say that Iâm my fatherâs son.
After allâs been said and done
and my battles for independence won,
hear me you old sly son-of-a-gun.
Iâm proud to say that Iâm my fatherâs son.
A fool thinks he ainât bought and sold
âcause every man sells a bit of his soul
to bring his family home some gold
before he knows heâs gotten old.
Your boys are not baseball stars.
You never got that fleet of fancy cars.
And Momma left you for the distant stars
but you never showed your battle scars.
You never did like to show your battle scars.
And after allâs been said and done
and my battles for independence won,
Iâm proud to say that Iâm my fatherâs son.
After allâs been said and done
and my battles for independence won,
hear me you old sly son-of-a-gun.
Iâm proud to say that Iâm my fatherâs son.
You made mistakes but you made âem well.
You got up each time you fell.
You paid your price and you lived some hell,
but didnât it make for tales to tell?
We learned to laugh, we learned to bend.
We learned the lessons never end.
And Iâm the luckiest fool whoâs been
to be your son and to get to call you friend,
to get to be your son and to call you my best friend.
And after allâs been said and done
and my battles for independence won,
Iâm proud to say that Iâm my fatherâs son.
After allâs been said and done
and my battles for independence won,
hear me you old sly son-of-a-gun.
Iâm proud to say that Iâm my fatherâs son.
"so find your own truths along the way",
but Santa Claus in his magic sleigh
had to be you in the rain that day.
And the Super Heroes on TV,
Saturdays weâd pretend to be,
youâd say, "Boys, well it seems to me,
youâre the best heroes this world will ever see.
Youâre the best heroes this world will ever see."
And after allâs been said and done
and my battles for independence won,
Iâm proud to say that Iâm my fatherâs son.
After allâs been said and done
and my battles for independence won,
hear me you old sly son-of-a-gun.
Iâm proud to say that Iâm my fatherâs son.
A fool thinks he ainât bought and sold
âcause every man sells a bit of his soul
to bring his family home some gold
before he knows heâs gotten old.
Your boys are not baseball stars.
You never got that fleet of fancy cars.
And Momma left you for the distant stars
but you never showed your battle scars.
You never did like to show your battle scars.
And after allâs been said and done
and my battles for independence won,
Iâm proud to say that Iâm my fatherâs son.
After allâs been said and done
and my battles for independence won,
hear me you old sly son-of-a-gun.
Iâm proud to say that Iâm my fatherâs son.
You made mistakes but you made âem well.
You got up each time you fell.
You paid your price and you lived some hell,
but didnât it make for tales to tell?
We learned to laugh, we learned to bend.
We learned the lessons never end.
And Iâm the luckiest fool whoâs been
to be your son and to get to call you friend,
to get to be your son and to call you my best friend.
And after allâs been said and done
and my battles for independence won,
Iâm proud to say that Iâm my fatherâs son.
After allâs been said and done
and my battles for independence won,
hear me you old sly son-of-a-gun.
Iâm proud to say that Iâm my fatherâs son.
