Father's Lament - Poor Mans Poison

We’ve the best and we’ve seen the worst

Yeah we been blessed and we’ve been cursed

Your mommas know that I love you

Both, but they won’t tell you that I tried

I try every day of my life

It’s been a test to make it here, my hope has faded through the years

I’ve been holding on to prayer and I hope that some day soon

God sees my efforts and my pain

Shows me my efforts aren’t in vane

I’ve played the part, and I’ve played the fool, and I been used

And I let them get the best of me, but it was all for you

For what it’s worth I never meant you any pain

Just so you know I love you both just the same

We’ve the best and we’ve seen the worst

Yeah we been blessed and we’ve been cursed

It’s all been worth it, just to watch you grow boys

And I’ll be a Daddy till I die

When I die I’ll keep the angels by your side

I’ve played the part, and I’ve played the fool, and I been used

And I let them get the best of me, but it was all for you

For what it’s worth I never meant you any pain

Just so you know I love you both just the same

I’ve played the part, and I’ve played the fool, and I been used

And I let them get the best of me, but it was all for you

For what it’s worth I never meant you any pain

Just so you know I love you both just the same
