Missing My Old Man

(For Dad)

I was working with my partner

Just a little sweat and talk to pass the time

Just a way to keep our music

Our families and our business all in line

There was something very special

I could feel it when he handed me the tools

When his son would ask the questions

I realized who told me all these rules

Chorus

And I don't know who or why

Is it he or is it I

If I don't look back I'll never understand

Head in hand....and missing my old man

Someday you'll be thinking

Of ways that you've been bought and then been sold

You'll see that what your telling

Is mostly due to what you have been told

And when you search your memory

And sift through all the shadows you will find

That the maker is the father....the son is now the maker

And both of them are really one in kind

Chorus

And I don't know who or why

Is it he or is it I

If I don't look back I'll never understand

Head in hand....and missing my old man

Missing my old man....
