Son Of Your Father Lyrics - Tumbleweed Connection - Elton John

I'll catch the tramline in the morning 

With your leave Van Bushell said 

He had further heard the cock crow 

As he stumbled out the shed 

Then blind Joseph came towards him 

With a shotgun in his arms 

He said you'll pay me twenty dollars 

Before you leave my farm 

Van Bushell saw the hook 

Which replaced Joseph's hand 

He said now calm you down my brother 

Let's discuss this man to man 

It's no good you getting angry 

We must try to act our age 

You're pursuing your convictions 

Like some hermit in a cage

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

You're the son of your father 

Try a little bit harder 

Do for me as he would do for you 

With blood and water bricks and mortar 

He built for you a home 

You're the son of your father 

So treat me as your own 

Well slowly Joseph well he lowered the rifle 

And he emptied out the shells 

Van Bushell he came towards him 

He shook his arm and wished him well 

He said now hey blind man that is fine 

But I sure can't waste my time 

So move aside and let me go my way 

I've got a train to ride 

Well Joseph turned around 

His grin was now a frown 

He said let me just refresh your mind 

Your manners boy seem hard to find 

Well there's two men lying dead as nails 

On an East Virginia farm 

For charity's an argument 

That only leads to harm 

So be careful when they're kind to you 

Don't you end up in the dirt 

Just remember what I'm saying to you 

And you likely won't get hurt
