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
