Fathers and Sons
Fathers and sons

It was cold there in his shadow
Fathers and sons struggle with their roles
He didn't support your sensitivity
You always felt he was a bully so cold
You lost yourself in drugs for years
Couldn't face your responsibilities
Didn't realise he was no angel
Until he killed someone so dear
Run, run for your life
Fast, fast as lightning strikes
Free, free from all those ties
Run, run, from all those lies
And now he's imprisoned by his greed
All his evil and murderous deeds
You got out and you got clean
It's time to face the world is real
Hitching rides and riding trains
Keeping your life off the rails
It may seem lonely and wild
But it gives you courage to be true
Run, run for your life
Fast, fast as lightning strikes
Free, free from all those ties
Run, run, from all those lies
Maybe one day you'll settle down
Meet someone sweet in a one horse town
Picket fences and mowing lawns
You'll write your own family story
Teach your kids about love and joy
How much kindness makes us whole
Heal your heart and heal your soul
Everyone can be their own hero
Run, run for your life
Fast, fast as lightning strikes
Free, free from all those ties
Run, run, from all those lies
Run, run for your life
Fast, fast as lightning strikes
Free, free from all those ties
Run, run, from all those lies
