'Cause I can't stand the pain
Oh, the life I sing about now
And the one I live is the same
When I sing them old songs of daddy's
Seems like every one comes true
Lord, please help me
Do I have to be the living proof
Why just the other night after the show
An old drunk came up to me
He says "You ain't as good as your daddy, boy
And you never will be"
Then a young girl in old blue jeans
Says, "I'm your biggest fan"
It's a good thing I was born Gemini
'Cause I'm living for more than one man
Remember Jimmie and Hank and Johnny
They were in the summer of life
When you called them away, Lord
I don't wanna pay that price
Don't let my son ever touch a guitar
May he never sing the blues
Let him be free
Don't make him be more living proof
I don't wanna be a legend
I just wanna be a man
But Lord, You know sometimes
I've needed a helpin' hand
And it ain't been so easy lately
I've had to go it all alone
But I've always had anything
I ever wanted, except a home
I'm gonna quit singin' all them sad songs
'Cause I can't stand the pain
Oh, the life I sang to you about
And the one I live is the same
Yes, I've sang those old songs of daddy's
And now it seems they all come true
Lord, please help me
Do I have to be the living proof
Lord, please help me
I don't wanna be the living proof
I'm gonna quit singin' all these sad songs 'Cause I can't stand the pain Oh, the life I sing about now And the one I live is the same When I sing them old songs of daddy's Seems like every one comes true Lord, please help me Do I have to be the living proof Why just the other night after the show An old drunk came up to me He says "You ain't as good as your daddy, boy And you never will be" Then a young girl in old blue jeans Says, "I'm your biggest fan" It's a good thing I was born Gemini 'Cause I'm living for more than one man Remember Jimmie and Hank and Johnny They were in the summer of life When you called them away, Lord I don't wanna pay that price Don't let my son ever touch a guitar May he never sing the blues Let him be free Don't make him be more living proof I don't wanna be a legend I just wanna be a man But Lord, You know sometimes I've needed a helpin' hand And it ain't been so easy lately I've had to go it all alone But I've always had anything I ever wanted, except a home I'm gonna quit singin' all them sad songs 'Cause I can't stand the pain Oh, the life I sang to you about And the one I live is the same Yes, I've sang those old songs of daddy's And now it seems they all come true Lord, please help me Do I have to be the living proof Lord, please help me I don't wanna be the living proof Explain Request ×
