My father turned 59 today His future years are on layaway And I sit by the fire in awe Wondering “why, oh why do you practice law?” My father went to work this morn With a look on his face like he was just born And I watch from my seat in confusion “Is his tie real or is it an illusion?” Oh my mind draws a blank When it comes to my birth And all I know is that I was put here on this earth Thanks dad My father came home from the ranch this afternoon Somehow he'll be reading about Gandhi soon And I sit with my guitar with all my questions I ask “dad can you teach me some life lessons?” Oh my mind draws a blank When it comes to my birth And all I know is that I was put here on this earth Thanks dad He walks in a room With his mind sharp He speaks smoothly like a just-tuned harp Just like Noah with that ark On his wall lies a stuffed hammer head shark My father turned 59 today His future years are on layaway And I sit by the chess board in extreme awe “Kev, take your number” “Okay pa” Oh my mind draws a blank When it comes to my birth And all I know is that I was put here on this earth Thanks dad Take your number |
