You always slept on the left side of the bed Next to the giant clock so you could see what time it read Beside it sat what you removed each night from off your head That covered what the doctor said would surely leave you dead
I was just a boy of seven, by brother barely four My mother never showed her fear or shared the load she bore You were making deals with the devil and the lord Or anyone who would listen who could give you five years more
You said please, please, please lord knows I ask not for me Cause I'm not scared of dying, though I love the life I lead It's just that if I go who will coach my sons' baseball teams Who will teach them how to give a woman what she needs Stay up discussing God and science when everyone's asleep Tell them to move their feet on defense, use their body not their hands Yes who will show them how to be a man
In my past life I believe I must have been a saint To have been raised by you this time around and that you weren't taken away Cause now I can shoot a jump shot, hold my own in a debate We grew up strong and humble, that you somehow cheated fate She had the love that she deserved and the family that she made
You said please, please, please lord knows I'm asking not for me Cause I'm not scared of dying, though I love the life I lead It's just if I go who will coach my sons' baseball teams It's just if I go who will coach my sons' baseball teams It's just if I go who will coach my sons' baseball teamsTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
