There I was just mindin' my own business
When I saw a shadow out the corner of my eye
I'd seen that shadow once before, in my life
Well, it was the day my Father died
So I turned and I fled, but that shadow gave chase
Caught me down a dead end way
To my surprise when he opened his mouth
Well, I could hear my Father say
He said, "Son, I know just where you've been, yeah
And I know just how you'll meet your end
You better turn from the path that you're on
Lest you end up just like your old man
HOLD UP, WAIT A MINUTE there man! Like...
Did you forget who you were?
You used to beat my mother down
Well, she left your sorry a**, because you wouldn't choose
Your wife and son over your booze
Now, I ain't a damn thing, like the man you USED to be
You better go back to where you belong, ohh
And maybe then you'll begin to see
Ohhhhh
Oooooh
