Between A Father And A Son Lyrics

Heywood was a daddy in 1942

He couldn't read or make his letters

He said "Boy I hope you don't do like I did"

That was my dad he was talking to



So my father grew up stronger

Bigger dreams and bigger plans

The first to go to college

But he can still work hard with his two hands

Thanks to his old man



Yeah he learned to throw a baseball

How to sail a ishing line

He learned about forgiveness

'Cause you just can't waste the time



And the circle goes unbroken

But there's so much left undone

That's just how it is

Between a father and a son



Well I became a daddy

At the age of twenty-three

I didn't know what I was doing

That my daddy would have done in place of me

I felt lost at sea



So I just kept it simple

Took it one day at a time

Followed the foot-steps

Of the men who came before me in my life

We're doing just fine



'Cause you learn to throw a baseball

How to sail a ishing line

And you learn about forgiveness

'Cause you just can't waste the time



And the circle goes unbroken

But there's so much left undone

That's just how it is

Between a father and a son



And the circle goes unbroken

But there's so much left undone

That's just how it is

Oh that's just how it is

Between a father and a son



Between a father and a son



Between a father and a son
