lyrics

I’ve tried it all
Modeling better behavior
Pleading with our lord and savior
Being sweet to try to curry favor
Talking all the good things God gave her

I’ve tried outright confrontation
Quiet, gentle conversation
Hostile negotiation
Now just I avoid the entire situation

Hey Dad, I hope you’re taking care of yourself
That’s a lot for one man
I’d be there if I could
I hope you understand

Been thinking about you almost every night
Heard you’re taking a trip
I might come back when your back
Think I’d like to visit

But until then, just keep running

Do what you do
And be the man who you are
Keep the stars in your sky
I’ll keep your heart in my heart
Don’t ever ask yourself
“Is this all my fault?”

You want my advice?
Just try to ride the wave
And don’t waste yourself saving
Whatever’s left to save
Some people just go their own ways
And you can’t love them back

Told me she might go to Dallas after Miami
Say’s she’s following some guy she trusts, but I don’t know

When you see pedophiles in every shadow
Satanists at every turn
It’s a dark place to be
But I think you gotta let her go
Cause I love her too
But she’s just gonna do
Whatever she wants to do

When I think of you, Dad
You’re an acoustic guitar
You’re a campfire song
You’re a night full of stars
Don’t ever let me hear you ask yourself
“Is this all my fault?”

You want my advice?
Don’t take this to your grave
And don’t waste yourself saving
Whatever’s left to save
Some people just go their own ways
And you can’t love them back
You just hope they come back
