Father and Son by Johnny Cash Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 2003

[Verse 1: Johnny Cash]
It's not time to make a change
Just relax and take it easy
You're still young, that's your fault
There's so much you have to know
Find a girl, settle down
If you want, you can marry
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy
I was once like you are now
And I know that it's not easy
To be calm when you've found something going on
But take your time, think a lot
Why think of everything you've got
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not

[Verse 2: Johnny Cash and Fiona Apple]
How can I try to explain
When I do he turns away again
It's always been the same, the same old story
From the moment I could talk
I was ordered to listen
There's a way and I know that I have to go away
I know I have to go
[Verse 3: Johnny Cash]
It's not time to make a change
Just sit down, take it slowly
You're still young, that's your fault
There's so much you have to go through
Find a girl, settle down
If you want you can marry
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy

[Verse 4: Johnny Cash and Fiona Apple]
All the times that I cried
Keeping all the things I knew inside
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it
If they were right, I'd agree
But it's them you know not me
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away
I know I have to go
