FATHER YOU DON'T WANT TO BE
by: Jonathan Calhoun

Verse 1
I remember those days
Like it was yesterday
How you would chose to walk away
You chose the drug and the booze
And the life with out your son
Watched him grow up behind bars
Worst mistake you ever done

Chorus
He grew to be a man
That he doesn't want to be
The father that you showed him what not to be
He works his ass off to prome to everyone
That being a man is what I came to be

Verse 2
All those promises that never came true
Like how you would choose me over the booze
The 12oz never really got to you
It was the needle that went deep deep inside your soul

Chorus
He grew to be a man
That he doesn't want to be
The father that you showed him what not to be
He works his ass off to prove to everyone
That being a man is what I came to be

Verse 3
Nothing is gonna change the man of who you are
22 years and your still behind bars
You got 3 Kids and you dont know who they are
All the achievements and you're still so far

Chorus
He grew to be a man
That he doesn't want to be
The father that you showed him what not to be
He works his ass off to prove to everyone
That being a man is what I came to be

Verse 4
I'ma gonna make you this promise
I'm gonna keep this one
I'm going to be the father and show you how it's done
Break my back to them that I love them
Through the thick and thin be there for them

Make you this promise
I'm gonna keep this one
I'm going to be a father
And show you how it's done
