My Old Man |
I miss my old man tonight |
And I wish he was here with me |
With his corny jokes and his cheap cigars |
He could look you in the eye and sell you a car |
That’s not an easy thing to do |
But no one ever knew a more charming creature |
On this earth than my old man |
He was a pilot in the big war in the U.S. Army Air Corps |
In a C-47 with a heavy load |
Full of combat cargo for the Burma Road |
And after they dropped the bomb |
He came home and married mom |
And not long after that |
He was my old man |
And oh the fights we had |
When my brother and I got him mad |
He’d get all boiled up and he’d start to shout |
And I knew what was coming so I tuned him out |
And now the old man’s gone, and I’d give all I own |
To hear what he said when I wasn’t listening |
To my old man |
I miss the old man tonight |
And I can almost see his face |
He was always trying to watch his weight |
And his heart only made it to fifty-eight |
For the first time since he died |
Late last night I cried |
I wondered when I was gonna do that |
For my old man |
