My Old Man

(álbum: For All These Years - 2023)

Follow the puck and square your shoulders
And be sure that glove is always open
If you're out at night and the booze is flowing
Better call a ride or wait till morning

If you don't outdo me I'll kill you kid
Then I would laugh and he would grin
But I'm older now and life's set in
And I realize how hard that is

I know that everyone's got some regrets
But I could do a hell of a lot worse than
Becoming my old man
Becoming my old man

His uncle taught 'em when they were small
If someone messed with one he'd have to fight 'em all
To never throw a punch just 'cause you can
They'll always be someone you're not tougher than

I was too young to understand
That I could do a hell of a lot worse than
Becoming my old man
Becoming my old man
Becoming my old man

Go sit and talk with your grandad
For the day will come when you wish you had
Try to find the good in what he says
Sing him a song and share a laugh
I was far too young when mine passed

I never got the chance to tell him that
I could do a hell of a lot worse than
Becoming my old man
Becoming my old man
Becoming mg old man
