PAPA'S SONG

[Verse 1] Blue collar, works hard, and raised on religion He prays for his family and hates on the system She'd say "He’s come a long way" [Verse 2] His patience was thin, and his knuckles were calloused She'd hold the ice, help him regain his balance She prayed And God showed him the way [Pre-Chorus] Broken things take time to fix How did he end up like this? [Chorus] I don't know how a drunk on his knees in the bathroom Falls to his knees in a church I don’t know how picking a fight with a stranger Becomes picking up the kids after work I don't know how a dead end turns to a husband Who loves her with all that hе's got I don't know I'm not sure he evеn knows [Verse 3] He dropped out of high school, met the girl, had a daughter At thirty-five, found out that he was adopted He tried 'Til he finally got it right [Pre-Chorus] Broken things take time to fix How did he end up like this? [Chorus] I don't know how a drunk on his knees in the bathroom Falls to his knees in a church I don't know how picking a fight with a stranger Becomes picking up the kids after work I don’t know how a dead end turns to a husband Who loves her with all that he’s got I don't know I’m not sure he even knows [Bridge] Oh, oh, oh I don't know I'm not sure he even knows [Outro] Blue collar, works hard, and raised on religion He prays for his family and hates on the system I'd say "He’s come a long way"
