Paroles: NOFX. Cokie The Clown. My Orphan Year (Acoustic).

:
My father had dementia
He lied in bed for months
Once in a while he?d call me,
and ask me to fly down
I told him that I?d love to
But I had things to do
And so he died without his son
I heard about it drunk after a show

My mother battled cancer
For over seven years
I nursed her and I held her
When time was running out
The night before she left me
I drank scotch all night
And thanked her for everything she?d done
Raising me alone wasn?t much fun

So dad I can forgive you,
but I?ll never forget,
Months I wouldn?t see you and when I did
You?d be out with your friends all night
Alone and only nine
I watched the outer limits
Scared out of my mind
I wonder if you felt the same
The days before you died
I wonder if you even knew
Why I wouldn?t come around
I bet if you had been there,
There wouldn?t be this song

2006 goodbye parents
For once, I'm sincere
2006 that was my orphan year
