I am my fathers son
never knowing when to shut up
I ain't fooling no one
I am my father's son
We don't see eye to eye
I'll be the first to admit I never tried
'n' sure it hurts, but it should hurt sometime
we don't see eye to eye
I was a young man when
I first found the pleasure in the feel of his hand
I went down the same road as my old man
I was younger then
now its three a.m. and I'm standing in the kitchen
holding my last cigarette
strike a match 'n' I see my reflection in the mirror in the hall
and I say to myself
I've got my mama's eyes
her long thin frame 'n' her smile
and I still see wrong from right
cuz I've got my mama's eyes
yea I've got my mama's eyes
