I don't know too much about
Too much of my old man
I know he walked right out the door

And we never saw him again
Last I heard he was at the bar
Doing himself in

I know I've got that same disease
I guess I got that from him


Chorus:
This is the story of my old man
Just like his father before him

I'm telling you do anything you can
So you don't end up just like them
Like them


Monday he woke and hated life
Drank until Wednesday and left his wife

Thursday through Saturday lost everything
Woke up on Sunday miserable again



I remember baseball games
And working on the car

Told me that he loved
And that I would go far
Showed me how to work hard

And stick up for myself
I wish it wasn't too hard
To listen to himself


This is the story of my old man
Just like his brother before him

I'm telling you do anything you can
So you don't end up just like them
Like them


Monday he woke and hated life
Drank until Wednesday and left his wife

Thursday through Saturday lost everything
Woke up on Sunday miserable again
Again

Again



Someday he'll wish that he made things right
Made things right
long for his family and Miss his wife

Miss his wife
Remembered the days he had everything
now hes alone and Miserable again
