"The moon ain't made of cheese," you'd say "So find your own truths along the way" |
|
But Santa |
|
Claus in his magic sleigh |
|
Had to be you in the rain that day |
|
And the Super |
|
Heroes on |
|
TV Saturday we'd pretend to be |
|
You'd say, "Boys, well, it seems to me You're the best heroes this world will ever see You're the best heroes this world will ever see And after all's been said and done And my battles for independence won I'm proud to say that I'm my father's son After all's been said and done And my battles for independence won Hear me you old sly son-of-a-gun I'm proud to say that I'm my father's son A fool thinks he ain't bought and sold Cause every man sells a bit of his soul To bring his family home some gold Before he knows he's gotten old Your boys are not baseball stars You never got that fleet of fancy cars And Mama left you for the distant stars But you never showed your battle scars You never did like to show your battle scars And after all's been said and done And my battles for independence won I'm proud to say that I'm my father's son After all's been said and done And my battles for independence won Hear me you old sly son-of-a-gun I'm proud to say that I'm my father's son You made mistakes but you made 'em well You got up each time you fell You paid your price and you lived some hell But didn't it make for tales to tell We learned to laugh, we learned to bend We learned the lessons never end And I'm the luckiest fool who's been To be your son and to get to call you friend To get to be your son and to call you my best friend And after all's been said and done And my battles for independence won I'm proud to say that I'm my father's son After all's been said and done And my battles for independence won Hear me you old sly son-of-a-gun I'm proud to say that I'm my father's son I'm proud to say that I'm my father's son I'm proud to say that I'm my father's son |
