Carpenter’s Son Lyrics by RainMakers

0

Dad was a carpenter
I'm a carpenter's son
He said "Bob don't be a carpenter
Spendin' life smashin' your thumbs"
"I've seen better things for you to come"
And so I got me this guitar to strum
And now my hands are cut and calloused
Just like the old man's was

And there's a circle round the sun
You're gonna finish right where you begun
The more they change the more they stay the same
I'm a carpenter's son

Dad was a carpenter
He wore a blue shirt
And he said "I got back ache on back ache
From doin' this a-heavy work"
"Now Bobby get on outta here"
Yeah dad put the bug in my ear
And now my back's goin' out
From carryin' the PA gear

And there's a circle round the sun
You're gonna finish right where you begun
The more they change the more they stay the same
I'm a carpenter's son

Oh yeah
I'm a carpenter's son
A carpenter's son
A head bangin'
Nail bendin'
Son of a gun

Goin' deaf to the hammer and the table saw whine
Goin' deaf to the drummin' and the cut time

Dad was a carpenter
And I'm a carpenter too
Yeah we both work with our hands
And take pride in the thing we do
With a guitar and a tuba for stud
With a hammer and a rock n' roll band
All we're tryin' to do is
Hit the nail on the head

And there's a circle round the sun
You're gonna finish right where you begun
The more they change the more they stay the same
Oh yeah

There's a circle round the sun (sun)
You're gonna finish right where you begun
The more they change the more they stay the same
I'm a carpenter's son

A carpenter's son
That's me
