Pop Lyrics

I got into a fistfight, on my first day of school
I Came home with a fat lip and a blackened eye to boot
Oh, it Seems the local bullyboy, didn't like me much
When he knocked me down, I got right up, what else could I do
I came home to my old man, told me what I had to do
'Cause tomorrow that same bullyboy, be waiting there for you

There's good and there's bad in this world we live in
I'm tellin' ya son, I'm tellin' ya son
Believe what you feel, not what you've heard
I'm tellin' ya son, I'm tellin' ya son

I met a girl at sixteen and she broke my heart in two
Oh, I Learned about drink at seventeen, had my first woman too
Times, they were a changin', and my old town I outgrew
Had to see the world, and live my own life
So many things I had to do
I quit my job at the cannery, I'd saved a buck or two
Well I knew that I'd miss old mom and dad
It's what I had to do

When I left home we were standing eye to eye
He gave me a hug and we said goodbye
Take care he said, you'll do allright
Don't forget all I told ya' I'm tellin' ya son
Well Pop was right and I made good
I've been all around the world
Sometimes I miss my old town, people I left behind
Maybe some day I'll settle down and meet a loving girl
Till then I'll go wanderin', it's the life I choose

I carry in my heart the words he said
It seems like yesterday
My Pop's been gone now a couple years, still remember what he said
