Son of a Fireman Lyrics by Ben Burgess

2023

[Verse 1]
I grew up, son of a fireman
Paintin' houses, mowin' lawns
All I wanted was a better life
For him and momma
Hell, for us all
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I was grindin'
I moved to California
Lookin' for that pot of gold
Then to Nashville
Me and a buddy
Wrote a song you probably know
By the time that I made it, he was gone
[Chorus]
Now I could buy him that house by the river
Where he could wake up every morning and cast a line
I could back that brand new Caddy in his driveway
But the only thing I guess I couldn't buy
Was more time
[Verse 2]
I guess denial ain't just some river in Egypt
I was swimmin' in it the whole time
If I knеw then I would have been
Back in Dallas by his side
[Pre-Chorus]
But I was grindin' thе whole time
[Chorus]
So I could buy him that house by the river
Where he could wake up every morning and cast a line
I could back that brand new Caddy in his driveway
But the only thing I guess I couldn't buy
Was more time
[Outro]
I grew up, son of a fireman
Paintin' houses, mowin' lawns
