Fathering
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A lot of these guys never had any fathering
It's not something that comes to a man
Nine wives and nine kids and never bothering
It's not something that comes to a man
Well I got away clean...at least I thought I did
But being a grownup...well you might start to hearing voices
And I can feel the weight upon my shoulders
'Cause sometimes being loved takes away all your choices
And I guess I was wild like the other kids
But I didn't regret anything I did
We both rocked the boat...we did the real thing
And I guess at the time neither one of us was thinking straight
I should have kept my head and done the right thing??
there was the last thing on my mind
'Cause I got a juvenile inside me that just won't die
But there is not a day that goes by that I can't see myself
And now I cannot be all that I can be
They often tell you that just to get you to the wishing well
And I guess I was wild like the other kids
But I didn't regret anything I did
I guess I should have more self-finalization
But she is beautiful...and that's all I need to know
I don't want to run from my obligations
But she is beautiful...she is
She is beautiful...she is
She is she is...she is
I guess I was wild like the other kids
But I didn't regret anything I did
I guess I was wild like the other kids
But I didn't regret anything I did
