Poor Man’s Poison
Father’s Lament
[Verse 1]
We've seen the best and we've seen the worst
Yeah we been blessed and we've been cursed
Your mommas know that I love you
Both, but they won't tell you that I tried
I try every day of my life

[Verse 2]
It's been a test to make it here, my hope has faded through the years
I've been holding on to prayer and I hope that someday soon
God sees my efforts and my pain
Shows me my efforts aren't in vain

[Chorus]
I've played the part, and I've played the fool, and I been used
And I let them get the best of me, but it was all for you
For what it's worth I never meant you any pain
Just so you know I love you both just the same

[Verse 3]
We've seen the best and we've seen the worst
Yeah we been blessed and we've been cursed
It's all been worth it, just to watch you grow boys
And I'll be a daddy till I die
When I die I'll keep the angels by your side
[Chorus]
I've played the part, and I've played the fool, and I been used
And I let them get the best of me, but it was all for you
For what it's worth I never meant you any pain
Just so you know I love you both just the same
I've played the part, and I've played the fool, and I been used
And I let them get the best of me, but it was all for you
For what it's worth I never meant you any pain
Just so you know I love you both just the same
