Song Information:

This has had a slight remix to bring a little clarity to the vocal.

=====
This happened very fast. Maybe if it had taken more time it wouldn't have happened at all.

I'd been listening to the Drive By Truckers and just played off the guitar part and put a very simple 2nd part over it.

The lyrics were half floating around as an idea during the guitar parts but I didn't expect the end where the chord pattern changes. Those were spontaneous. I had to re-record the last line a couple of times because I was so surprised by it.

Sat around all day yesterday wondering whether to post it or not.

Song Lyrics:

When I was a boy my daddy looked at me
With eyes full of laughter, some hurt underneath

And I used to run just to feel the earth move
And he used to wait like there's nothin' to prove

When i was fifteen my daddy looked at me
with eyes full of tension, some hurt underneath

Don't know what he saw Don't know why
Every time I think of him I just wanna cry .. wanna cry

I was almost a man when he last looked at me
small and shrunken down in the bed deep

Don't know what he sees, where's he goin'
Don't know how to ask, what's he knowin'

Lookin in his eyes there in his last days
Lookin through the fear
lookin in through the haze
lookin at the edge, at the other side

He's gone somewhere and he ain't lookin back
and he ain't finished goin' but he's ready to leave
just lookin at me with his heart on his sleeve
I wanted to run
