Song Description

a son recalls the advice given to him by his father, and realises the value of his words.

Lyrics

My dad sat me down one day and talked to me-he said son not all is what it seems. Its good to have your doubts, and someday you'll figure out, I'm only speaking from experience. So I ran through my life with blinders on, and I did not heed his words. I ended up in trouble more than enough times he was always there for me, and this is what I heard. He said, take this for what its worth, use it in good time, it ain't gonna hurt and someday you'll find, dear old dad was right. Now that I'm older, its easy to see how I could have misunderstood. As years go by, from time to time, I can still hear his words. He said don't go playing on the wrong side of the tracks, and don't bet your life on anything, that's a fact. Always do what's right for the ones you love, and don't forget my son, to pass these words on. take this for what its worth, use it in good time, it ain't gonna hurt, and someday you'll find, he was right.
