Fathers And Sons

(альбом: County Line - 2014)

It's barefoot and baseball, battle-scar stitches
Hot dogs and pep talks, in between pitches
Unspeakable things that a mom's never done
Some things should stay between fathers and sons

It's holding 'em back while you're letting them go
Trying to teach what you don't really know
So you watch and you pray to see what they become
It just runs in the blood between fathers and sons

No flowers or dolls, unless you can burn 'em
It's all car parts and guitars and the backyard learning
Saying good night with an I love you punch
Just the way that it is between fathers and sons

It's holding 'em back while you're letting them go
Trying to teach what you don't really know
So you watch and you pray to see what they become
It just runs in the blood between fathers and sons

I'm a cowboy, an outlaw, an ace with a gun
A preacher, a teacher, a seeker of fun
The scariest thing that I've ever done
Is taking my place among fathers and sons

It's holding 'em back while you're letting them go
Trying to teach what you don't really know
So I'll watch and I'll pray to see what you'd become
I'll try to soak up the moments while you're still young

Kingdoms and castles can all come undone
Ain't nothing stronger than fathers and sons
No there ain't nothing stronger than fathers and sons
