lyrics
Your short uptightness.
Your crooked vices.
Your manners gone to hell
Your empty pockets.
Your worn thin sockets and a drink to close the deal.
The gruffness and the gracelessness.
That soon may affect my step.
Wrinkled shirts and dirty words.
And one pair of navy pant.
When did all these whiskers appear?
Cause I’m looking at my father in the mirror.
Hidden X’s and O’s are as close
To I love you as you may ever get.
The hand gripped on it’s routine.
The baby child the boy run wild backward in manhood.
Makes no difference how I try to cover.
His better halves half is my other.
I laugh it off.
Now it seems so near.
When did all these whiskers appear?
Cause I’m looking at my father in the mirror.
Hands through my head of thinning hair.
Cause I’m looking at my father in the mirror.
