My Father`s Son Lyrics

My Father`s Son lyrics

"The moon ain't made of cheese," you'd say

"So find your own truths along the way"

But Santa Claus in his magic sleigh

Had to be you in the rain that day



And the Super Heroes on TV

Saturday we'd pretend to be 

You'd say, "Boys, well, it seems to me

You're the best heroes this world will ever see

You're the best heroes this world will ever see



And after all's been said and done

And my battles for independence won

I'm proud to say that I'm my father's son

After all's been said and done

And my battles for independence won

Hear me you old sly son-of-a-gun

I'm proud to say that I'm my father's son



A fool thinks he ain't bought and sold

Cause every man sells a bit of his soul

To bring his family home some gold

Before he knows he's gotten old



Your boys are not baseball stars

You never got that fleet of fancy cars

And Mama left you for the distant stars

But you never showed your battle scars

You never did like to show your battle scars



And after all's been said and done

And my battles for independence won

I'm proud to say that I'm my father's son

After all's been said and done

And my battles for independence won

Hear me you old sly son-of-a-gun

I'm proud to say that I'm my father's son



You made mistakes but you made 'em well

You got up each time you fell

You paid your price and you lived some hell

But didn't it make for tales to tell



We learned to laugh, we learned to bend

We learned the lessons never end

And I'm the luckiest fool who's been

To be your son and to get to call you friend

To get to be your son and to call you my best friend



And after all's been said and done

And my battles for independence won

I'm proud to say that I'm my father's son

After all's been said and done

And my battles for independence won

Hear me you old sly son-of-a-gun

I'm proud to say that I'm my father's son

I'm proud to say that I'm my father's son

I'm proud to say that I'm my father's son
