The Story Of My Old Man Lyrics

I don't know too much about 
Too much of my old man
I know he walked right
out the door 
We never saw him again
Last I heard he was at the bar doing
himself in
I know I got that same disease 
I guess I got that from
him

This is the story of my old man
Just like his father before
him
I'm telling you do anything you can
So you don't end up just like
them
Like them

Monday he woke up and hated life
Drank until
Wednesday and left his wife
Thursday thru Saturday lost everything
Woke
up on Sunday miserable again

I remember baseball games and working on
the car
Told me that he loved me and that I would go far
Showed me how to
work hard and stick up for myself
I wish he wasn't too hard to listen to
himself

This is the story of my old man
Just like his father before
him
I'm telling you do anything you can
So you don't end up just like
them
Like them
Like them

Monday he woke up and hated life
Drank
until Wednesday and left his wife
Thursday thru Saturday lost
everything
Woke up on sunday miserable
again

Again......
Again......
Again......

Someday he'll
wish that he made things right (made things right....)
Long for his family
and miss his wife (miss his wife....)
Remember the days when he had
everything (everything....)
Now he's alone and miserable again
