My father had so much to tell me, things he said I had to know.
[Bb] Don't make my mistakes, there are rules you can't break, but I had to find out [F] on my own.
Now when I look at my own son, I can see what my father went through.
[Bb] Yeah, there's only so much [F] you can do.
[C] You're proud when they walk, scared when they run,
and that's how it always has been between fathers [F] and sons.
