Michael's Song - Mason Jennings

Up in the Midwestern cold Minnesota

18 years from here if you go by the roads

Lived a man from Columbus, Ohio

He’s been my father since a long time ago

He said, «I'll stay behind you»

I’ll stay behind you, I’ll stay behind you, son of mine

I’ll stay behind you, I’ll stay behind you

I’ll stay behind you till the day I die

And I remember days and days and days, spinnin' harmony

Christmas day spinnin' white oak park

All those brown bags of a dollars worth of candy

I saw him walk from a rap scene, then rap ever saw

He said, «I'll stay behind you»

I’ll stay behind you, I’ll stay behind you, son of mine

I’ll stay behind you, I’ll stay behind you

I’ll stay behind you till the day I die

I haven’t seen ya much since I was 12 years old

I don’t suppose I’ll see ya much on the rest of the road

And you should know that I miss you often

I miss your lap as much as you miss your mother’s

And I’ll stay behind you

I’ll stay behind you, I’ll stay behind you, son of mine

I’ll stay behind you, I’ll stay behind you

I’ll stay behind you till the day I die

I wonder if you picture me as sings rider to the sea

Sometimes you wonder if I come out alive

Well, up jumped Dingo he was grinning like 'whatever'

I’m may stray far but I’ll be back by five

He said I’ll stay behind you

I’ll stay behind you, I’ll stay behind you, son of mine

I’ll stay behind you, I’ll stay behind you

I’ll stay behind you, son of mine

I’ll stay behind you, I’ll stay behind you

I’ll stay behind you, son of mine

I’ll stay behind you, I’ll stay behind you

I’ll stay behind you till the day I die
