My Father - Pete Yorn

My father is a very good man

Very good man i tell you

He works on a ship to pay for the things

That you always bug him for

Oh he’s watching the world

He’s watching the wheel

He knows that i can see him

He knows he’s alright

As he sleeps on his chair

Will i go after him?

My fathers in a very good place

He knows what he wants

He gets it

He sits on a throne

Waving around

Thinks he don’t have to see

Oh but i was there

At 22

He came up and he told me

He never wanted anyone

To ever work like him

Yeah he worked on a ship for 70 years

And was not happy for it

He couldn’t finish what he began

But he did right by me

My father leaves a very good name

Very complete

He’s done it

He sits on his chair

And drinks all his beers

Until he drifts off to sleep
