18 Years

(앨범: Turning Up The Ground - 2022)

Eighteen years really went by so fast
You know you told me that
Keep it steady, try not to make a sound
You know you told me that
On that ridge outside of town

How come you only make it out at night?
I only see you when I close my eyes
It's hard to get that good advice
On my own
Those shoulders I've been standing
Yeah, I could see for miles and miles around
It's what made the man
Now you're gone

Son, give up that seat
To someone else in need
You're gonna hold that door
You told me that before
Go be the first to help
And be the last to leave
You know you told me that
Without ever saying a word to me

How come you only make it out at night?
I only see you when I close my eyes
It's hard to get that good advice
On my own
Those shoulders I've been standing
Yeah, I could see for miles and miles around
It's what made the man
Now you're gone

There was a time
Couldn't care less what you said to me
Turn it around
Now I'm the one with the family

How come you only make it out at night?
I only see you when I close my eyes
It's hard to get that good advice
Now you're gone
