My Old Man Lyrics

My daddy was dying a slow death
Couldn't be there for the man's last breath
Put him in the ground last day of the storm
Living to die from the day he was born

Born into a world some would say obscene
Living a lie like the death of a dream
Wait another day it could be all right
Believe it again so I put up the fight

Yes my old man
Take your son's hand
I forgive thee
Now you're set free

Putting out the fire with some gasoline
Waving goodbye do you know what I mean
Now you leave the world and you're taking flight
I'll see you again upon the other side
