The dining room fell silent I can't believe what I just said I just told my dad he's full of it And I watched his face turn red And I should've said "I'm sorry" But I matched him shout for shout I can still hear that screen door slammin' The night I called him out He said "Son, it's gonna hurt me more than it hurts you" But somehow I couldn't help but have my doubt 'Cause I'd seen my older brothers crawl back in the house Each time they called the old man out Fist to fist and eye to eye Standin' toe to toe He would've let me walk away But I just would not let it go Years of my frustration Had lead me to this night Now he'll pay for all the times that he's been right He said "Son, it's gonna hurt me more than it hurts you" But somehow I couldn't help but have my doubt 'Cause I'd seen my older brothers crawl back in the house Each time they called the old man out It was over in a minute That's when I realized The blood came from my mouth and nose But the tears came from his eyes And in memory of that fateful night I know the greatest pain was his And I just pray some day I'm half the man he is Just like my older brothers I crawled back in the house The night I called the old man out He said "Son, it's gonna hurt me more than it hurts you" But somehow I couldn't help but have my doubt 'Cause I'd seen my older brothers crawl back in the house Each time they called the old man out
