Sun stops a top a hill in Malibu
never a talk or about life
just a vision a boy with a knife
call be in the afternoon
love is the pit in my stomach
trying to save another stoned fool

Disk and place as the silver in his spoon
Take one for the company sixteen stitches
I was just thinking of you son I was just thinking of you
read your letter and tears fall
so proud of your faith damn you stand tall
mother laughs at me see the tears
I send you the money to cover new cost

Pick up my pieces and move on down the road
Christ had a big cross but I still carry my load
Pain of living is the answer to all that I see
I hope son your as proud of me as I of you
Peeled another kid from the street
not many more last of the beat
gonna retire soon to that place
mind is gonna go clean
values erased

Watched a star drop from the sky
Heard the new birth of a child cry
cradle rocks in the sound
love still lives just a bit down
come home when you can son
I sure miss you
Fixed your room
almost looks new

Silver drips in the color of gold
I, your old picture hold
we are the reason
to be you are as much hero
as I can ever be
saved the story
thought you
might want to read
apple never falls too far from the tree

Sitting on a park bench
just thinking of you
not much is of value
a broken down feeling
wish I could be with you
old bones creak as
I walk the street
smile as young I meet
see your soul
in every face on the street

Thunder breaks my train of thought
look at the candy bar I just bought
smiling face thanks me
candy bars and stars
will never set us free
plate will always be full
remember son I am waiting
I walk with you where ever you go

Yard is cluttered and old
took that marker for sparkle
had it bronzed in gold
spread the ashes of vixon
mixed brown cried real tears
as the memories of pets settle down

Felt a hand on shoulder did not have to turn around
Left the house never made a sound
Every bit of me is still trapped inside
See you soon son in my mind
