Barbecue’s in the air today
New Balance shoes are on display
Much to the bastards dismay
I guess it’s Father’s Day
Somewhere this boy became a man
A man that says I understand
moms done the best she can
I’ve put my poor mom through
Broken bones and blown tissues
Yet she never turned me loose
Not like her old man was great
An alcoholic without much to say
But we learned from their mistakes
All I got from him
Couldn't fill up my fists
He's just a grown man
Who turned his back
Where my mom's been
With thick skin and a violin
& I'm grateful to have her for a dad
Happy Father's Day to my mom, again.
Even inmate’s on death row
Mother’s think they’re pure as snow
Guess it’s unconditional
While a dad can leave at any time
& say “well, at least I tried”
& go on with his life
