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
