My father gave me lots of advice over the years, this song imagines all the lessons I'll teach my son like say no to crack, don't get hit by cars (like I did), be nice to people and the like.
lyrics
My son I hope this song will teach you some lessons I’ve learned in life,
Like getting yourself out of trouble or knowing when you’ve met your future wife,
Be kind to all of those around don’t talk behind their back,
Find the funny side in everything and say no when you’re offered crack
There’ll come a time when I’m no longer here,
And my spirit will rejoin the air,
But my boy don’t spend your time feeling blue,
Just know your father’s proud, your father’s proud of you
Don’t run across a busy street, I did that once upon a time,
Spending your weekends in A&E that’s gotta be some kind of crime,
I won’t lie to you and tell you that you won’t encounter strive,
But spend your time doing only what you love,
You’ll never work a day in your life
There’ll come a time when I’m no longer here,
And my spirit will rejoin the air,
But my boy don’t spend your time feeling blue,
Just know your father’s proud, your father’s proud of you
If you meet a girl who makes you laugh,
And when you’re with her time seems to slow down,
Never let her go because she’ll make you smile when you want to frown,
Read the books I left upon the stand and as a teenager you should join a band,
Go to college and socialize and when you talk to people look them in the eyes
There’ll come a time when I’m no longer here,
And my spirit will rejoin the air,
But my boy don’t spend your time feeling blue,
Just know your father’s proud, your father’s proud of you
