i dont know too much about

too much of my old man

i know he walked right out the door

we never saw him again

last i heard he was at the bar

doing himself in

i know i got that same disease

i guess i got that from him



this is the story of my old man

just like his father before him

i'm telling you do anything you can

so you dont end just like them

like them



monday he woke up and hated life

drank until wednesday and left his wife

thursday through friday lost everything

woke up on sunday miserable again



i remember baseball games

and working on the car

he told me that he loved me

and that i would go far

showed me how to work hard

and stick up for myself

i wish he wasnt too hard

to listen to himself



this is the story of my old man

just like his father before him

i'm telling you do anything you can

so you dont end up just like them

like them



monday he woke up and hated life

drank until wednesday and left his wife

thursday through saturday lost everything

woke up on sunday miserable again

again

again



someday he'll wish that he made things right

made things right

long for his family and miss his wife

miss his wife

remember the days he had everything

everything

now he's alone and miserable again
