Lyrics
I heard a lot of songs say "where you goin' my son?" Now I know they're true Boy, you never stop to think how fast the years run Now they're taking you I remember you was three 'n' a half Your ma and me, we'd sit there after things got quieted We'd laugh at some new word you said How tough you were to get to bed And we'd plan the night away Planning for our kid I was your hero then I couldn't do no wrong, as far as you were concerned You thought I was the best of men The tables hadn't turned You hadn't learned How little time it takes And daddies make mistakes Seems to me that lately I been thinkin' a lot I think about my dad Lots of funny things come back I thought I'd forgot Now they make me sad High school and it used to be I didn't want him touchin' me, and I shuddered if he did Further back to summer nights Baseball games beneath the lights And sleepin' in the car My daddy and his kid He was my hero then He couldn't do no wrong as far as I was concerned I thought he was the wisest and the strongest And the best of men The tables hadn't turned I hadn't learned How little time it takes And everybody breaks And daddies make mistakes I heard a lot of songs say "where you goin' my son?" Now I know they're for real Boy, you never stop and think How fast the years run Or the things they steal Now it seems I always knew Why I do the things I do And the things I never did Why I work my whole damn life So's I could give a better life Than the one my dad could give me I give it to my kid
