Son

Listen up and take a minute
I need to tell you why
I do the things the way
I do and weeks are flying by
I'm trying to fill a void in my life these days
By filling it with work and work
And accomplishments and praise
Anything that keeps me busy,
anything that keeps me up
Cause if I start to let it out
I think I'm never gonna stop
Afraid I'm never gonna stop
Listen up and take a minute
wherever you are
I've been mourning you with
the bottle and with my guitar
For this song I sat myself down
to put in words
What's underneath and what's unsaid
How much this whole thing hurts
How much this whole thing hurts
Listen up just take a minute
I need to tell you why
I do the things the way
I do so months are flying by
Since you're gone it isn't always easy,
all I do is run
But the hardest part, the hardest part
Was growing up your son
Was growing up your son
