Thirteen

I was just a boy when I made thirteen years old Took everything I could from my old man He taught me right form wrong Showed me to be strong And the face of a world gone wrong If I could go back And show him what I have A pocket full fo dreams or so it seems He'd say boy remember who you are Don't ever stray too far From the truth and what the good lord has in store I remember you Hands so strong And in my mind you never did wrong Sometimes we run it out Sometimes we sing and shout You were laying facedown And I was drunk at home Drinking some beer they don't make no more When a call came in at one It said Zach you're daddy's gone It said Zach you're daddy's gone Well I grabbed my head Grasped for breath My wife a nervous wreck How was I gonna tell myself that my dad was dead I felt so lost far from home
