between a father & 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", and 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 fishing 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, and my daddy wouldn't, i felt lost at sea, so, i just kept it simple, took it one day at a time, and followed in the foot-steps, of the men that came before me in my life, and we're doing just fine, 'cause you learn to throw a baseball, how to sail a fishing 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, but that's just how it is, between a father and a son, and the circle goes unbroken, but there's so much left undone, and that's just how it is, oh, that's just how it is, between a father and a son, a father and a son, between a father and a son
