Between A Father & A Son Lyrics - Singles - Everett Jace

Heywood was a daddy in 1942 

He couldn't read or make his letters 

He said "Boy I hope you don't do like I did" 

That was my dad he was talking to 

So my father grew up stronger 

Bigger dreams and bigger plans 

The first to go to college 

But he can still work hard with his two hands 

Thanks to his old man 

Yeah he learned to throw a baseball 

How to sail a ishing line 

He learned about forgiveness 

'Cause you just can't waste the time 

And the circle goes unbroken 

But there's so much left undone 

That's just how it is 

Between a father and a son 

Well I became a daddy 

At the age of twenty-three 

I didn't know what I was doing 

That my daddy would have done in place of me 

I felt lost at sea 

So I just kept it simple 

Took it one day at a time 

Followed the foot-steps 

Of the men who came before me in my life 

We're doing just fine 

'Cause you learn to throw a baseball 

How to sail a ishing line 

And you learn about forgiveness 

'Cause you just can't waste the time 

And the circle goes unbroken 

But there's so much left undone 

That's just how it is 

Between a father and a son 

And the circle goes unbroken 

But there's so much left undone 

That's just how it is 

Oh that's just how it is 

Between a father and a son 

Between a father and a son 

Between a father and a son
