Father and Daughter Songtext
von Johnny Cash

It′s not time to make a change
Just relax, and take it easy
You're still young, that′s your fault
There's so much you have to know

Find a boy, settle down
And if you want you can marry
Look at me, gettin' old
But I′m happy

I was once like you are now
And I know that it′s not easy
To be calm when you've found
Something going on

But take your time, think a lot
Why, think of everything you′ve got
For you'll still be here tomorrow
But your dreams may not

How can I try to explain
′Cause when I do, he turns away again
And it's always been the same, same old story


From the moment I could talk
I was ordered to listen
Now there′s a way and I know that I have to go away

It's not time to make a change
Just sit down, and take it slowly
You're still young, that′s your fault
There′s so much you have to go through

Find a boy, settle down
And if you want you can marry
Look at me, gettin' old
But I′m happy

All the times that I've cried
Keeping all the things I knew inside
It′s hard, but it's harder
To ignore it

If they were right, I′d agree
But it's them they know not me now
There's a way and I know that I have to go away
I know I have to go away
I know I have to go away
I know I have to go away
I know I have to go away
