 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

It was right around the time we found out you had cancer
We were out walking the dog
You said you didn't feel like you really were my father
You said we were brothers before it all

Well, they fixed you up, and life went on
Soon I forgot about the scare
Got to that age where boys rebel against the world
Everything, everyone, everywhere
All I wanted was for you to respect my decisions
Even when I was the dumbest kid in town
You tried to steer me away from all the icebergs in my path
But I would rather try, fail and drown

And I don't know how long it lasted
But there was a time when we never spoke
About anything other than music and sports
Before we'd be at each other's throats
I picked a side with all the girls who were wrong for me
I know you thought I could do better
We were both too stubborn then to ever give much ground
Picking fights about the fucking weather

Got a little older, and things improved
Though I couldn't ever figure out why
I'd like to think it's cause I got a little smarter
You probably just got more resigned
But by that time I had gone
And these days, I don't see you much
I know you wish I lived right down the road
But man, I'd lose my mind from feeling stuck

So Dad, I wish that there were two of me
One to run from what I haven't earned
One to walk out on this ancient highway
One to be the brother that you deserve
One to race like some westbound train
Never giving thought to slowing down
One to die like some crazy Mongol king
And one who wouldn't let you down
