[00:08.539]My old man had some stories
[00:11.670]He told them all the time
[00:15.170]He was a wild bastard in a former life
[00:18.406]And it carried into mine
[00:21.386]It broke my heart what he said to me
[00:25.145]In a call in the middle of the night
[00:28.330]Said"I hope you know I'm proud of you son
[00:31.641]And by the way I'm running out of time"
[00:41.709]It was my birthday when I got the news
[00:44.578]A greyhound ticket and some orphan blues
[00:47.766]Got my girl to feed the dog so I could go back home
[00:54.288]The place was still a mess just like the day I left
[01:01.170]Only difference being him not around now to leave it alone
[01:07.970]There was a half cup of coffee and some hot rod magazines
[01:14.392]That shitty little radio on oldies 93
[01:21.319]I put on a suit and combed my hair
[01:24.494]Bought a bottle of whiskey and made my way there
[01:27.735]To pay my respects to that sweet old bastard of mine
[01:54.244]Saw some busted rope on an apple tree
[01:57.437]Just a vague idea of what it used to be
[02:01.028]Blowing free in the cemetery breeze
[02:07.573]I held my distance from the sad eyed crowd
[02:11.069]And the box that just carried somebody now
[02:14.258]While my old man's ghost was having a drink somewhere
[02:21.667]My mama blew town when I was 3
[02:24.357]And he did his best to stick around for me
[02:27.667]I hope he knows I love him for that
[02:31.484]Giving up that wild life for me
