Parting Word

I remember coming home With my momma at the door Saying son where ya been You've been up to no good (Been up to no good!) Well whatcha been drinking (Whatcha been drinking!) And whatcha been smoking (Whatcha been smoking!) Well tell me how you're gonna be a man today Told her, momma I don't know Where I'm gonna go But one things for sure I'm gonna be Just fine My momma told me when I was young Don't you be like your father now Stumbling around all drunk oh chasing every tale you can find Don't you go praying, don't you go believing every word they say Just know yourself for who you are and don't ever try and change I'm tired of you, I'm tired of this world I'm tired of living a lie All that I want, and all that I need Is your father right by my side Cause I know that someday he's gonna come back And I'm gonna be alright Just one thing you've got to promise me boy is that you're gonna be just fine
