lyrics

Dear Son; Here's an open letter
upfront let you know where I stand
and if i write it this way there'll be no
miscommunication later on who I am.
Though your not born yet I'm middle 41 and
I love you though I've never seen your face.
Speaking of that, I'm on the road
sorry in advance for missing some of your grades.

One more thing. A little advice to you.
You don't want to be like me.
And if you do, I'll try not do disapprove
but please don't be like me.

You see I
spend my days
being Jack of all trades.
but Yes, some stuff I later regreted.
Even if you don't get it, we all regret
but it's the guilt that will wilt you;
put you to the test

If you don't believe in God, don't admit it
Try not to play with other hearts if your kidding.
This is a lot but I'm saying all I got to say
to show you who I am
and why I act this way

and now..
Remember this only thing
You don't want to be like me
Go anywhere
and be anything
Please don't be like me.
