| Heywood was a daddy in 1942
|
| He couldn’t read or make his letters
|
| He said «Boy I hope you don’t do like I did»
|
| That was my dad he was talking to
|
| So my father grew up stronger
|
| Bigger dreams and bigger plans
|
| The first to go to college
|
| But he can still work hard with his two hands
|
| Thanks to his old man
|
| Yeah he learned to throw a baseball
|
| How to sail a ishing line
|
| He learned about forgiveness
|
| 'Cause you just can’t waste the time
|
| And the circle goes unbroken
|
| But there’s so much left undone
|
| That’s just how it is
|
| Between a father and a son
|
| Well I became a daddy
|
| At the age of twenty-three
|
| I didn’t know what I was doing
|
| That my daddy would have done in place of me
|
| I felt lost at sea
|
| So I just kept it simple
|
| Took it one day at a time
|
| Followed the foot-steps
|
| Of the men who came before me in my life
|
| We’re doing just fine
|
| 'Cause you learn to throw a baseball
|
| How to sail a ishing line
|
| And you learn about forgiveness
|
| 'Cause you just can’t waste the time
|
| And the circle goes unbroken
|
| But there’s so much left undone
|
| That’s just how it is
|
| Between a father and a son
|
| And the circle goes unbroken
|
| But there’s so much left undone
|
| That’s just how it is
|
| Oh that’s just how it is
|
| Between a father and a son
|
| Between a father and a son
|
| Between a father and a son |
