I`ll Never Turn My Back On You (father`s Words) lyrics

This isn't living now
A thing my father said to me
And get a haircut,
boy
If you want a chance in respectable society
Why did you stop
writing?
I knew you had some trouble, son
But you should know by
now
That my number doesn't change
Because a dirty deed is done.
All I
need from you
And that's all
Regardless of whatever you do
And that is
what you understand
That I'll never turn my back on you.
How are your wife
and child?
I'm sure your little girl has grown
And give them a kiss and
smile
That's what my daddy said
In a letter very long
What kind of man
would I be?
If I left you in despair (and then he wrote)
And I miss your
mother, son
Cause if she were still alive
She'd tell you too
You
should cut your hair.
All I need from you
And that's all
Regardless of
whatever you do
And that is what you realise
That I'll never turn my back
on you.

Whatever you do just try to get through to me
Remember the
time we got drunk on wine by the sea
And I laughed when you tried to stagger
home by yourself
You were stubborn then and you are still stubborn
now.
All I need from you
And that's all
Regardless of whatever you
do
And that is what you understand
That I'll never turn my back on you.
