Turning The Shoulder

(альбом: Flowers For You - 2020)

Crying on my Saturday
Cause my back is up against the wall
I guess it's one of my better days
No at least I did not hit the floor

When I looked away
He was turning the shoulder
And my mother is saying
Just remember what he told you
Fight your wars
He will not fight yours
No she said
Oh your daddy is a great man
But he will not fight for you
Oh his battles are the ones he can win
Not the ones he wants to

Pull me out into the crowd
Cause you think I should be more like them
And I don't wanna let you down, no
But I don't think that you quite understand

When I looked away
He was turning the shoulder
And my mother is ashamed
Of the life I have chosen
I fight my wars
That they won't fight for
And she said
Oh our family has a great name
But it will not stay with you
No not with you

I fight my wars
That they won't fight for
And she said
Oh your daddy is a great man
But he will not fight for you
