Born at five, bright blue eyes, mother beamed, father cried.
His first words came from a song mom sang, big sis wished it had been her first name.
And he took his first steps, learned to live upright, he said through school but he ran through the night.
And at thirteen kissed a girl, but she didn't kiss back.
[G] [C] They misfed on the diploma, [F] paycheck, old trip, Arizona.
His first love [C] wore a hair full of curls, they [G] called her quits but if had [F] another girl.
Then everyone stared as she walked down the aisle, kids got [C] daddy's eyes and his poor [Dm] mama's smile.
And [Bb] for a while there [F] everything was goddamned, he'd [C] shake it.
[F]
Until he cheated death at thirty-five, asleep at the wheel, [F] swerved just in time.
His heart grew cold and he [C] lost touch, the job [F] was boring and the merge was tough.
Then his sour [Bb] drop of blood rolled down [F] his son's face, he was standing [C] in a robe, he was [Dm] pinching him to shave.
[Bb] And they snapped out of it [F] and they learned how to [C] love again.
But it spoke [F] of dad and the [C] ferret mom, once [Bb] the cancer grew [F] too strong.
A lullaby from [C] sister's lungs, first [Bb] rearing dad's eyes since the birth of his son.
So he took a year off to get back [F] on his feet, he didn't [C] do much, took a trip [Dm] to the beach.
[Bb] Where he slept on the [F] sand had a dream where the girl [C] kissed back.
Now at home, daily he grinded, [F] birthdays, holidays, peace of mind.
He lost his hair, [C] found his life, [Bb] composed a will in his [F] bedtime.
There was nothing [Bb] too special about the [F] way he lived life, was a [C] bad average build and a [Dm] bad average life.
[Bb] Time to get [F] things wrong, other times get [C] things right.
[F]
Roads out front and a [C] yard out back, the [Bb] quiet life and the [F] coldest sack.
Kids in school, [C] gowns and ties, [Bb] more little babies with bright [F] blue eyes.
So he [Bb] cashed in his chips and the [F] merge to the bills, but it [C] didn't eat right and it [Dm] didn't take his bills.
And at five o'clock [F] one day the soft blue [C] eyes grew still.
