[Verse 1]
Well you always like to take advice from the worst possible source that you could get
Well it's a testament to how you act and how you are and how you try to live
Do the sins of your father really not make you rather concerned?
Well look out baby I'm coming in hot, gonna teach you all of the stuff that you should have learned

[Chorus]
And ain't it strange to think how quickly, how quickly time's passed
Well you were headed straight for glory doing right not doing wrong but that all passed
Oh and ain't it such a daggone shame when you finally realize you've gone blind
Well you never could see through, never could see through
You never could see through your foggy eye

[Verse 2]
Well send me west toward the sun or east toward the moon fast as you can
Well I offer sympathetic thoughts for the one that never even offered me her hand
Do the sins of your father really not bother you at all?
Well look at me, I'm standing now but I'm gonna be the one that takes the fall

[Chorus]
And ain't it strange to think how quickly, how quickly time has passed
Well you were headed straight for glory doing right not doing wrong but that all passed
Oh and ain't it such a daggone shame when you finally realize you've gone blind
Oh well now you never could see through, you never could see through
You never could see through that foggy eye
