Dear mom, |
|
Did you get the disk I sent? |
|
The one with all the songs we used to sing in the car? |
|
Waylon, ' Eagles, Kenny Rogers and Donna Summer |
|
I hope it brings back the memories |
|
Of good times we had together |
|
Driving in the car to New Mexico |
|
The Longest ride ever to Pennsylvania |
|
'all the way with the windows down. |
|
Chorus: |
|
And I hope you're proud |
|
I hope you see some good |
|
In all the ******* up things I did |
|
All the things you never understood. |
|
I hope I made you proud, |
|
And disappoin*******ents of the past |
|
Are things we left back there forever |
|
And we can move on together |
|
While you live the rest of your days |
|
And watch your grandkids play |
|
And say, 'I'm proud of you!' |
|
Dear dad, |
|
You managed to turn your life around |
|
Five separate times that you were born. |
|
But that's not me just yet |
|
Only twice so far, but I'm working on a third. |
|
And I'm only half your age |
|
And long props working against me |
|
I've got five hundred more tattoos than you |
|
I've broken 30 hundred more hearts than you |
|
And as for the bottle, I say, 'call that a drug!' |
|
Chorus: |
|
But I hope you're proud, you're proud! |
|
I hope you see some good |
|
And all the ******* up things I did |
|
All the things you never understood |
|
I hope I made you proud |
|
And the disappoin*******ents of the past |
|
The things we left back there forever |
|
And we can move on together |
|
While you live the rest of your days |
|
Watch your grandkids play and say, |
|
'I'm proud of you!' |
|
I almost lost my brother, in a car crash late last summer |
|
Don't know what I would have done without you |
|
Never would have made it half this far without you |
|
' you touch your little brother well! |
|
Chorus: |
|
But I hope you're proud, you're proud! |
|
I hope you see some good |
|
And all the ******* up things I did |
|
All the things you never understood |
|
I'm so ******* proud |
|
And the disappoin*******ents of the past |
|
The things we left back there forever |
|
And we can move on together |
|
While you live the rest of your days |
|
And we watch your grandkids play |
|
Say, 'I'm proud of you!' |
