• The Shadow

There I was just mindin my own business
When I saw a shadow out the corner of my eye
I’d seen that shadow once before
That was the day my father died
So I turn and I fled but that shadow gave chase
Caught me down a dead end way
To my surprise when he opened his mouth
I could hear my father say
“Son, I know just where ya been,
and I know just how you’ll meet your end.
You better turn from the path that you’re on,
lest you end up just like your old man.”
Hold up, wait a minute there man!
Now did you forget who you were?
You used to beat my mother down.
She left your sorry ass because you wouldn’t choose
your wife and son over your booze
Now I ain’t a damn thing
like the man you used to be
You better go back to where you belong
maybe then you’ll begin to see.
