about

a song about family, loss and understanding

lyrics

Just two years and once more you’d have been a sailing man
If your daughter hadn’t ruined your retirement plans
Us kids would all laugh at your landlocked hopes
but Jesus Christ, all you wanted
was something chrome or a boat

From the stories I hear sounds like you made quite a scene
Now seldom do I see your face unless it’s lit by a screen
We beg you to spend more time in the real
As we stare at our phones and forget how we feel

Ass over applecart you were high as a kite
You jumped the curb and flipped your old Honda bike
Fall after fall never kills you but someday Charlotte just might

Looking at the pictures man you were in your zone,
Six feet of black leather looking for a broken bone
I wonder what I’d see in your eyes if I brought up your wild side
Now you’re hugging the turns, you’re about to level up
Seems you’ve made up your mind, who am I to interrupt?
There’s so much I wanna ask but your replies have become so abrupt

Ass over applecart on the side of the road
BMW cruiser, meet a double wide load
A last stitch effort to cling to your youth
and now you’re clinging to life like what the hell what’s the use
Have you waited a little too long to live your truth?

Now you’re signing the papers and counting down the days
No one argues; if you really wanted to you would stay
Mom says this whole damn family is stubborn and stuck in our ways

From the pictures I found looks like you made quite a scene
Now I only see your face when it’s lit up on my screen
And I imagine what I’d see in your eyes
had I brought up your wild side
