Well daddy tonight I can write the saddest lines,
When you first held my hand down the street,
There werent many days, but Ill never forget,
When I laid my head, upon youre chest,
But I still remember that curl in your smile,
And these tears from my mama that haunt me tonight
And I know that through their cries that we were their pride
Were other sons from fathers filled with defeat
And I know that in their hearts that they wanted me no harm,
But time can do so much to a mind,
They showed me some beauty before I learned the blues,
Sinking so low, in my wounds
Well I still remember that curl in your smile,
And these tears from my mama that haunt me tonight
And I know that through their cries that we were their pride
Were other sons from fathers filled with defeat
Well they fell the pieces, after waiting so long
And I cant move on,
And mama make it come, the moments you were young,
When you were so strong
I still remember that curl in your smile,
And these tears from my mama that haunt me tonight
Yeah I know that through their cries that we were their pride
Were other sons from fathers filled with defeat
I still remember that curl in your smile,
And these tears from my mama that haunt me tonight
Yeah I know that through their cries that we were their pride
Were other sons from fathers filled with defeat
Filled with defeat (Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Yeah theyre filled with defeat (Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Theyre filled with defeat (Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Yeah theyre filled with defeat (Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Uh, theyre filled with defeat (Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
