lyrics

Father Becomes The Child

You walked like a man, John Wayne
How I wished I could be like you
Now you say you are so tired
Well, I get tired just like you do too.
You don’t walk the walk, John Wayne
You don’t talk the talk
Like you used to do.

It’s hard, so hard, it’s hard…So hard
It’s hard, so hard,
When the Father becomes the child

You never think it will happen
But somewhere along the line
You slipped off track
And try as I might, try as I might
I just can’t seem to get
The old man back.
You don’t walk the walk, John Wayne
You don’t talk the talk
Like you used to do.

It’s hard, so hard, it’s hard…So hard
It’s hard, so hard,
When the Father becomes the child
(Father becomes the child-becomes the father, father becomes the child-becomes the father-father becomes the child, becomes the father-father becomes the child-becomes the father…)

I can look you in the eye, John Wayne
Though it doesn’t sit too easily with me
I damn you & I love you
For all those things
You’ve done to me

It’s hard, so hard, it’s hard…So hard
It’s hard, so hard,
When the Father becomes the child
(Father becomes the child-becomes the father, father becomes the child-becomes the father-father becomes the child, becomes the father-father becomes the child-becomes the father…)

You don’t walk the walk, John Wayne
You don’t talk the talk
Like you used to do.
