When I was young my father taught me not to gloat. |
| [00:19.67] |
If I came home too proud of myself |
| [00:23.35] |
I get wrestled to the floor and choked. |
| [00:28.54] |
But I forgive him for that. |
| [00:31.73] |
He was an eighth grade drop out |
| [00:34.42] |
and I was being a brat. |
| [00:37.42] |
I forgive him, I do. |
| [00:40.35] |
I know that he loves me |
| [00:42.85] |
and he knows I love him too. |
| [00:45.92] |
When I was young my father told me, |
| [00:50.56] |
to each his own. |
| [00:54.37] |
The lady said as she kissed the cow, |
| [00:58.87] |
some like the fiddle, |
| [01:00.99] |
some like the trombone |
| [01:03.49] |
and I live by that rule. |
| [01:06.18] |
Your trip is your trip |
| [01:08.44] |
and my trip is my trip too. Yeah, |
| [01:12.25] |
I'll mind my own business. |
| [01:14.93] |
Oh, having no rules in my friend here have. |
| [01:20.37] |
I love my dad. |
| [01:22.47] |
I love my dad. |
| [01:24.66] |
I love my dad. |
| [01:26.72] |
I love my dad. |
| [01:28.91] |
I love my dad. |
| [01:30.97] |
I love my dad. |
| [01:36.97] |
Your kid goes to the private |
| [01:40.09] |
Berkley school with one black kid. |
| [01:45.47] |
My kid goes to the public school, |
| [01:49.22] |
came home with cracked ribs. |
| [01:54.53] |
And when my kid's eighteen |
| [01:57.33] |
he'll be out there like |
| [01:59.27] |
I was and probably chasing his dreams. |
| [02:03.27] |
And when your kid's twenty-two, |
| [02:06.14] |
he'll have an internship at a law firm |
| [02:09.77] |
and hey that's okay too. |
| [02:11.46] |
When I was five I came home from |
| [02:13.96] |
kindergarten crying cause they |
| [02:16.10] |
sat me next to an albino. |
| [02:20.10] |
My dad said son everyone's different, |
| [02:23.98] |
you gotta love em all equally. |
| [02:29.10] |
And then my dad sat me down, |
| [02:31.91] |
he said you gotta love all people, |
| [02:34.79] |
pink, red, black, or brown. |
| [02:37.41] |
And then just after dinner he played me |
| [02:41.10] |
the album They Only Come Out At Night by Edgar Winter. |
| [03:02.85] |
When I was young my dad |
| [03:05.36] |
taught me the beauty of patience. |
| [03:11.67] |
We'd go and hang with his friend |
| [03:13.98] |
Billy Brislin all day in his Stubenville basement. |
| [03:20.23] |
We'd watch wrestling matches on TV |
| [03:24.04] |
and Billy couldn't move cause he was handicapped. |
| [03:29.12] |
And I learned to shoot the shit, |
| [03:31.94] |
and how to care for those in need |
| [03:35.56] |
and to show respect. |
| [03:37.18] |
When I was a kid my dad brought |
| [03:40.25] |
home a guitar he got from Sears. |
| [03:46.00] |
I took lessons from a neighbor lady |
| [03:49.37] |
but it wasn't going anywhere. |
| [03:54.00] |
He went and got me a good teacher |
| [03:57.81] |
and in no time at all I was getting better. |
| [04:03.25] |
I can play just fine. |
| [04:06.19] |
I still practice a lot but not as much as Mills Climb. |
| [04:24.26] |
When I was young my dad |
| [04:26.88] |
told me to pay gossip no mind. |
| [04:33.45] |
When people talk bad on you you gotta |
| [04:36.95] |
flick it off your shoulder like a fly. |
| [04:41.89] |
Learn to pick your punches, don't get no tussles, |
| [04:48.76] |
dead in ditches. Life is short young man, |
| [04:53.70] |
get out there and make the best of it while you can. |
| [04:58.82] |
I ain't trying to say my dad |
| [05:02.07] |
was some kind of a perfect saint. |
| [05:07.26] |
When something set him off, |
| [05:09.31] |
I hit the floor quicker than what |
| [05:12.44] |
Mike Tyson did to Ricky Sveen. |
| [05:16.31] |
I hit the floor so fast, |
| [05:19.17] |
but that was so long ago |
| [05:22.91] |
and we both moved past. |
| [05:24.60] |
My life is pretty good, I owe it to him. |
| [05:30.04] |
My dad did the best he could. |
| [05:33.54] |
I love you dad |
| [05:35.85] |
I love you dad |
| [05:37.60] |
I love you dad |
| [05:39.72] |
I love you dad |
| [05:41.85] |
I love you dad |
| [05:44.04] |
I love you dad |
| [05:46.29] |
