That Could Have Been My Father
THAT COULD HAVE BEEN MY FATHER
Take away everything
take the house the job the dignity
throw him on the street
sorry old man, that's the way it's gonna be
Drowning in air
That could have been my father
That could have been my brother
Standing at a traffic light, a sign in his hand
I'm just getting on with my life
here's some change old man,
I wish I could change the look in your eyes
Drowning in air
That could have been my father
That could have been my brother
"God bless you sweetheart" he said
so dignified
I smiled, I sighed
Drowning in air
That could have been my father
That could have been my brother
