Father of Mine Songtext

Father of mine
Tell me, where have you been?
You know I just closed my eyes
My whole world disappeared
Father of mine
Take me back to the day
Yeah, when I was still your golden boy
Back before you went away

I remember blue skies walking the block
I loved it when you held me high
I loved to hear you talk
You would take me to the movie
You would take me to the beach
Take me to a place inside
That′s so hard to reach


Oh
Father of mine
Tell me, where did you go?
Yeah, you had the world inside your hand
But you did not seem to know
Father of mine
Tell me, what do you see?
When you look back at your wasted life
And you don't see me

I was ten years old
Doin′ all that I could
Wasn't easy for me
To be a scared white boy in a black neighborhood
Sometimes you would send me a birthday card
With a five dollar bill
Yeah, I never understood you then
And I guess I never will

Daddy gave me a name
My daddy gave me a name
(Then he walked away)
Daddy gave me a name
(Then he walked away)
My daddy gave me a name
Yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah


Daddy gave me a name
Daddy gave me a name
(Then he walked away)
Daddy gave me a name
(Then he walked away)
My daddy gave me a name
Yeah
Yeah
Oh, yeah

Father of mine
Tell me, where have you been?
Yeah, I just closed by eyes
And the world disappeared
Father of mine
Tell me, how do you sleep?
With the children you abandoned
And the wife I saw you beat

I will never be safe
I will never be sane
I will always be weird inside
I will always be lame
Now I'm a grown man
With a child of my own
And I swear, I′m not gonna let her know
All the pain I have known, oh, yeah

(Then he walked away)
Daddy gave me a name
(Then he walked away)
My daddy gave me a name
(Then he walked away)
My daddy gave me a name
(Then he walked away)
My daddy gave me a name

(Then he walked away) yeah
(Then he walked away) yeah
(Then he walked away) oh, yeah
