about

For Dad.

My Dad passed away this week suddenly from a heart attack. I tried to put this together for him, though I'd like to spend some more time and revise it.

lyrics

Soft-tailed Hog
Racing ‘round the curves
Till they called his name for ‘Nam
Hear the laughter making plans
Made it home to turn the page

Knew his way
Around a hammer and nail
No matter if it was raining,
Started sun up until the waning
Harder than the men half his age

"Don’t grow up and spend your days like me.
Get a good job and try to live free.
Overworked and underpaid
ain’t no way to spent your days.
Stand up straight, look ‘em in the eye
Firm handshake, always try to be nice
Limitation is no more than the sky
I hope you get the most out of this life"

Never said
too many words
That were far beneath the surface
Best kept behind closed curtains
Drama’s better left on the stage

"Don’t be afraid to fall
Get back up and give it your all
Do what’s right and show ‘em how it’s done
Make some time to just have fun
Always dress for the occasion
And don’t ever forget your raising
Limitation is no more than the sky
I hope you get the most out of this life"
