Verse 1
D
I was
at that smart ass time of my life
G
D
G
Where id pick a fight just to pick a fight
D
If he said black, I said white
If he took one side I took the other side
G
The dinner table we sat around
Was more like a battleground
D
And I lost more times than I won

I would of learned later on
Bm
G
That he was always preaching
A
Bm
bout his past

Verse 3
D
G
He was built with blue collar
sweat and blood
Squared jaw and a crew cut
D
A purple heart, a Viet Vet.
He'd tell you every chance he'd get
G
Always running down my rock n' roll,
My friends, my hair, my clothes.
D
But one night it got out of control
And right there we came to blows
Bm
G
A
And that was just enough to get me gone

I couldn't wait to prove

Struck out on my own

Thought about the road I chose

Em
Bm
"Well
as the leaves fell that autumn
Bm
I never looked back and I
never once called him
Em
But every time I talked to momma
Bm
I wondered if he was there,or if
he even cared
Em
I figured I walked out of him and the
Bm
course of our love had run
G
Em
Momma said 'no,no, you listen to me son,
hes a stubborn man and he won't give in.
Bm
He believes what he believes,
G
D
well you're just like him'
C
Well I could tell by her voice there
was something wrong
She broke down,
and said he ain't got long
So I caught the next plane home,
Thought about all the years gone
Had my pride that I let so much time go by
G
I ran up those stairs and stood
And I cried"
Verse 6
Em
Thought I knew it all
G
But trying to talk to me
A
Was like talking to a wall
D
But all I want right now
G
Em
Is just to be your kid
D
Just before my dad gave up the ghost
G
Em

He took my hand and said "son let it go,
