Lyrics:
My father had dementia
He lied in bed for months
Once in a while he�d call me
And ask me to fly down
I told him that I�d love to
But I had things to do
And so he died without his son
I heard about it drunk after a show
My mother battled cancer
For over seven years
I nursed her and I held her
When time was running out
The night before she left me
I drank scotch all night
And thanked her for everything she�d done
Raising me alone wasn�t much fun
Dad I can forgive you,
but I�ll never forget,
Months I wouldn�t see you and when I did
You�d be out with your friends all night
Alone and only nine
I watched the outer limits
And scared out of my mind
I wonder if you felt the same
The days before you died
I wonder if you even knew
Why I wouldn�t come around
I bet if you had been there,
There wouldn�t be this song
2006 goodbye parents
For once I am sincere
2006 my orphan year
