Karaoké Father of Mine Everclear

Father of mine tell me where have you been?

You know I just closed my eyes my whole world disappeared

Father of mine take me back to the day

Yeah when I was still your golden boy back before you went away

I remember blue skies walking the block

I loved it when you held me high

I loved to hear you talk

You would take me to the movie

You would take me to the beach

You take me to a place inside that is so hard to reach

Ah father of mine tell me where did you go?

When you had the world inside your hand but you did not seem to know

Father of mine tell me what do you see?

When you look back at your wasted life and you don't see me

I was ten years old doing all that I could

It wasn't easy for me to be a scared white boy in a black neighborhood

Sometimes you would send me a birthday card

With a five dollar bill yeah I never understood you then and I guess I never will

Daddy gave me a name my dad he gave me a name

Then he walked away daddy gave me a name

Then he walked away my dad he gave me a name

Yeah hey oh yeah

Daddy gave me a name daddy gave me a name

Then he walked away daddy gave me a name

Then he walked away my dad he gave me a name

Yeah yeah

Oh yeah

Father of mine tell me where have you been?

Yeah I just closed my eyes and the world disappeared

Father of mine tell me how do you sleep?

With the children you abandoned and the wife I saw you beat

I will never be safe

I will never be sane

I will always be weird inside

I will always be lame

Now I'm a grown man with a child of my own

And I swear I'm not going to let her know

All the pain I have known

Then he walked away daddy gave me a name

Then he walked away my dad he gave me a name

Then he walked away my dad he gave me a name

Then he walked away my dad he gave me a name

Then he walked away then he walked away then he walked away
