Lyrics
A man has a son and he scares him to death,
Tells him get in the car, do what he says
‘Don’t touch my tools and
You don’t know how lucky you are.’
Flashes of fire come out of his eyes
Shaking him hard ‘cause he will not stop crying
Saying ‘That was close one’
Later down at the bar
Chorus
A man has a son it’s a curious thing
Dangerous talk about family things
Follows you round
Finds you wherever you are
The kid has a son and he treats him like gold
Takes him out fishing shows him the ropes
Gives him a hug when he falls on his face
But nothing is easy
Makes him a sandwich, walks him to school
Keeps his own anger out on patrol
But it hangs like a cloud, calls him by name
Might be forever
Chorus
Some get it right, some get it wrong
For some it’s so easy, some never know
What made him this way, why we do what we do
A man and his son.
(It ain’t nothing new)
Chorus
