Son

Listen up and take a minute
I need to tell you why
I do the things the way I do
And weeks are flying by
I’m trying to fill a void
In my life these days
By filling it with work and work
And accomplishments and praise
Anything that keeps me busy
Anything that keeps me up
Cause if I start to let it out
I think I’m never gonna stop
Afraid I’m never gonna stop
Listen up and take a minute
Wherever you are
I’ve been mourning you with the bottle
And with my guitar
For this song I sat myself
Down to put in words
What’s underneath and what’s unsaid
How much this whole thing hurts
How much this whole thing hurts
Listen up just take a minute
I need to tell you why
I do the things the way I do
So months are flying by
Since you’re gone, it isn’t always easy
All I do is run
But the hardest part, the hardest part
Was growing up your son
Was growing up your son
