| 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 till 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 |
