Mama always tried to tell me to keep goin'
Daddy never told me nothin'
It wouldn't have mattered
I wouldn't have listened
Hah, you know how it goes, damn
I've been wrong so many times it's hard to see right
In the dark for so long, it's hard to see light
But don't be retarded and think that I'm pity partying
As soon I start pickin' my brain apart to guitar strings
It's more than that, more in fact, take this Jack
You can have it back, I see my dad in that (Damn)
Well you can go and take the steel too
'Cause there ain't nothin in steel to me that isn't mildew
But I can promise I won't follow in those footsteps
My boot's a little bit bigger and my mind's a lot more complex
But that's alright, I'll raise you right
You'll be my eyes, I'll give you sight
I'll make you bright, you'll be my pride, you'll be my life
The only things I learned from the empty boob
Is not to fill it up with booze and do not run from what you do
I wrote this note that you can read when I'm gone
Because time won't allow me to make life a song (Make life a song)
