The Story Of My Old Man Songtext

I Don't 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, doin' 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 tellin' you, do anything you can So you don't end up just like them Like them Monday he woke up and hated life Drank until Wednesday and left his wife Thursday through Saturday he lost everything Woke up on Sunday, miserable again I remember baseball games and workin' on the car Told me that he loved me and that I would go far Showed me how to work hard and stick up for myself Wish it wasn't too hard to listen to himself This is the story of my old man Just like his father before him I'm tellin' you, do anything you can So you don't end up just like them Like them Monday he woke up and hated life Drank until Wednesday and left his wife Thursday through Saturday he lost everything Woke up on Sunday, miserable again Again Again Someday he'll wish that he made things right (made things right) Love for his family and miss his wife (miss his wife) Remember the days he had everything (everything) Now he's alone and miserable again
