Lately I've been spendin lots of time with my kid
Tellin him stories
About the things that
we did
When we were a family
Long time ago
I've answerd his questions
Till I'm blue
in the face
Wish all that hurt in him
I could erase
But I tell him the truth
Cause
he aint to young to know

Single father
Part time mother
When I'm not one
Then
I'm the other
You used to be
My full time lover
Now I'm a single father
And a part
time mother

I spend every minute
I can with my boy
Theres no doubt about
it
He's my pride and joy
Someday he will grow up
And I wont have him no more
Some
things I just find
Too hard to explain
So we go to Mcdonalds
Or I buy him a
train
And we go put it together
On the living room floor

Such is the life
Of a
single father
He says daddy explain
If its not too much bother
While its just you and
me
Living here in this home
I dont understand it
And neither does he
Why theres just
two
When there should be three of us
Sharing this moment
Lord I feel so
alone

[repeat chorus]"
[Single Father lyrics

I've been sittin here
Tryin to find myself
I get behind myself
I need to rewind myself
Lookin for the payback
Listen for the playback
They say that every man bleeds just like me
And I feel like number one
Yet I'm last in line
I watch my youngest son
And it helps to pass the time
I take too many pills it helps to ease the pain
I made a couple of dollar bills, but still I feel the same
Everybody knows my name
They say it way out loud
A lot of folks **** with me
It's hard to hang out in crowds
I guess that's the price you pay
To be some big shot like I am
Out strecthed hands and one night stands
Still I can't find love

And when your walls come tumbling down
I will always be around

Yeah
As it...hey

And when your walls come tumbling down
I will always be around

People don't know about the things I say and do
They don't understand about the **** that I've been through
It's been so long since I've been home
I've been gone, I've been gone for way too long
Maybe I forgot all things I miss
Oh somehow I know there's more to life than this
I said it too many times
And I still stand firm
You get what you put in
And people get what they deserve
Still I ain't seen mine
No I ain't seen mine
I've been giving just ain't been gettin
I've been walking that there line
So I think I'll keep a walking
With my head held high
I'll keep moving on and only God knows why

Only God
Only God
Only God knows why, why, why, why
Only God...knows...why, why, why
Only God knows why
Take me to the river edge
Take me to the river, hey hey hey
