Lyrics

No Son of Mine
© 2005 Francisco Rodriguez/Matt Hirt

Verse 1 Billy McGee was so much bigger than me
I stood there shaking right down to my knees
But with my daddy watching I just couldn?t back down
I closed my eyes and swung as hard as I could
I missed the mark but Billy landed one good
Next thing I remember
I?m lying flat on the ground

Setup My dad picked me up and saw the tears in my eyes
Then he knocked me down with his words

Chorus No son of mine is gonna come home crying
Wipe off your face boy and stand up straight
And keep those emotions locked inside
Or you're no son
No son of mine

Verse 2 Melody Johnson was the girl of my dreams
My heart was racing set to burst at the seams
She showed me love so deeply
Such as I?d never known
Out of the blue she gave me back my class ring
She said that I was just a summer time fling
Next thing I remember
I?m driving home all alone

Setup 2 As I walked in the door dad saw tears in my eyes
Then he broke my heart once again

Repeat Chorus

Bridge The twenty years of tears that I had locked up inside of me
The day my son was born they all came pouring suddenly
As I held him in my arms all the pain was washed away
I thought I saw him smile when he heard his daddy say

Final Chorus No son of mine will have to hide his crying
I?ll always be there to hold you tight
Cause I'll never be the man that my daddy was
Not to no son
To no son of mine
