Father Of Mine (Acoustic)
Everclear

Father of mine

Tell me, where you have been?

You know I just closed my eyes

My whole world disappeared

Father of mine

Take me, back to the day

Yeah, when I was still your golden boy

Back before you went away


I remember blue skies

Walking the block

I loved it when you held me high

I loved to hear you talk

You would take me to the movie

You would take me to the beach

You would take me to a place inside

That's so hard to reach


Oh, father of mine

Tell me, where did you go?

Yeah, you had the world inside your hand

But you did not seem to know

Father of mine

Tell me, what do you see

When you look back at your wasted life?

And you don't see me


I was ten years old

Doing all that I could

Wasn't easy for me to be a scared

White boy in a black neighborhood

Sometimes you would send me a birthday card

With a five dollar bill

Yeah, I never understood you then

And I guess I never will


Daddy gave me a name

My daddy gave me a name

Then he walked away

Daddy gave me a name

Then he walked away

My daddy he gave me a name


Oh yeah, oh yeah


Daddy gave me a name

Daddy gave me a name

Then he walked away

Daddy gave me a name

Then he walked away

My daddy gave me a name


Yeah, yeah, oh yeah


Father of mine

Tell me, where have you been?

Yeah, I just closed my eyes

And the world disappeared

Father of mine

Tell me, how do you sleep

With the children you abandoned

And the wife I saw you beat?


I will never be safe

I will never be sane

I will always be weird inside

I will always be lame

Now that I'm a grown man

With a child of my own

And I swear I'll never let her know

All the pain I have known


Then he walked away

Daddy gave me a name

Then he walked away

My daddy gave me a name

Then he walked away

My daddy gave me a name

Then he walked away

My daddy gave me a name


Then he walked away

(Yeah)

Then he walked away

(Yeah)

Then he walked away

(Oh yeah)
