Dad Lyrics by Parker Ryan

Talbert Street, Pt. 1 - EP

0

[Verse 1]
Well I was raised in deep east Texas
Where the pine trees are the tallest things around
Runnin' cows and raisin' chickens was the way made our livin'
'Til it let my daddy down
My old man was the workin' kind and he got that from his dad
Who worked in the same sawmill for 43 years
Until all that time of slavin' finally broke his back
He'd say, "son, you have no clue the type of shit this world will do to you
It'll only let you down"
Well my dad and I have been through shit that no one would understand
We both went through a rough patch we probably couldn't take again
He'd get way too drunk and make me drive his ass to town
Throwin' bottlеs at the road signs, we nevеr cared to keep it down
And he'd say, "son, you have no clue the type of shit a girl can do to you
It'll only break your heart"
Well it's whiskey and you every night
Down blacktop roads with one headlight
And so many bottles that I lose count
And it's a Traveler album on repeat
While I'm fightin' tears and we're losin' sleep
You tell me what all the cryin' was about
Well I was raised in deep east Texas
Where the pine trees are the tallest things around
Runnin' cows and raisin' chickens was the way made our livin'
'Til it let my daddy down
