Letra de ' Man You Raised ' de Sam Barber

Hey bud, I haven't heard from you for a couple days
I was really hoping to catch you before your show
Everybody's missing you, but we're all so proud of you
It's been really hot here this week
You're lucky enough to be missing out on bailing hay
I'm sure your dad and grandpa would have loved to have your help
Anyway, have a great show, and please just give me a call when you can
I'll always love you more

When days were bright, and I was young
You'd talk to me and say: Hey, my son
The world only gets colder as you age
Now so many nights have led me here
Thinking 'bout the thing I feel
And when'll I finally get some fuckin' rest?
And just like whiskey going down
My throat burns just to speak out loud
Why can I not clear my own damn head?

But I'm alright, I'm okay
I will always be the man you raised
I know it's hard on the darkest days
But the Moon could never steal your son away
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
All my love is set in stone
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, whoa, oh, oh
And if I die, you get my throne

I'm sorry for the time I spent
On my own in this trench
I know it kills you that I am alone
But the boys out here won't let me die
And if it was my final night
I'd talk to you until I could not speak
Then with minutes left, I'd crack a joke
Tell you 'bout the songs I wrote
And pray that they live long after my time

But I'm alright, I'm okay
I will always be the man you raised
I know it's hard in the darkest days
But the Moon will never steal your son away
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
All my love is set in stone
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, whoa, oh, oh
And if I die, you get my throne

'Cause I'm alright, I'm okay
I will always be the man you raised
I know it's hard on the darkest days
But the Moon could never steal your son away
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
All my love is set in stone
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, whoa, oh, oh
And if I die, you get my throne
