my son & i
are 2 much alike
we sing at the same mic
2 of a kind
we be blind
he & i

my oh my
he & i
i'm an old hippie
yippie-k-yeah
give me booze
& i lose
my way

he's got the drug
bug
slides under the rug
keeps diggin' a whole he's dug

just got outta' jail
still out on bail
parole
know that stroll

today he fail
back to jail
oh well
oh hell

the difference between
he & me
is easily seen
see
this how it be

i never got caught
'bought what i 'bought
lost a lot
this & that
and what not
but i never got caught

but he
always seems
to get caught
with what he bought
doin' what he should not

just outta' jail
didn't seem he'd fail
this time
he had his rythmn
he had his rhyme

but not this time

so once again

he's back in jail

this time
there ain't no bail
oh well
oh hell

he . i
my son & me
we be
2 of a kind
a pair
but i'll was be there
for he & me
be 2 of a kind

we both be blind
ain't life unkind

but we be together
thru fair & sormy weather

he & i
my son & i

Peas in the proberbial pod, huh? He made his choices just as you did, he has to serve his time, been there, done that myself. Now he has to do the responsibility thing, you can still be there for him, he needs you still...Good luck to the both of you, Ed & Rufuz
