[00:22.10]I see his father now from time to time
[00:27.54]he wears a smile but you can't undress the sadness from those eyes,
[00:33.24]he haunts a drink and wants something to believe.
[00:39.04]He says, "God took everything, everything from me."
[01:38.44][00:44.84]And all the good is gone
[02:36.45][01:45.62][00:51.96]been lonesome for so long
[00:55.91]and I can't hear the choir singing now
[02:46.25][01:55.20][01:01.51]just those chains I drag along.
[01:15.81]And I breathed my life into this child,
[01:21.77]he was young, he was brilliant, bright, and wild
[01:27.24]I was a fool to think I'd ever see the day he'd become a better man than me,
[01:35.89]and carry on my name.
[01:49.53]I can't hear that choir singing now
[02:54.17][02:03.34]Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
[02:14.66]I've been down this road before
[02:20.96]and my heart, it took a toll.
[02:29.36]When all the good is gone,
[02:40.41]and I can't hear that choir singing now
[03:05.78]I walked down, this road alone
[03:11.90]when this town, it felt like home.
