Banbury

I watched the sunset in my dad's old neighborhood

I drove past the old house where he was raised real good

I drove on the roads he drove on when he was my age

And the sun set silently on the earth's stage

The sky turned dark and the stars started to show

So I sat on my moms car and enjoyed the spaceshow

And as the streetlights reacted to the fading day

That's when I swore I could hear my dad say

Son everyone grows up and everybody dies

Someday this will all be gone and we wont be alive

Son it's happening to me and it's happening to you too

One day I was your age and the next thing I knew

I got a degree and I found a career

I met your mother and we made our way back here

I retired from my job and your sister was born

And I lost control of my leg due to my faulty spinal cord

But your grandfather told me you got to live with what you get

And that life's not something for you to resent

Son you have to try your hardest to be content

And you're not really living if you're living in regret
