Just a chip off the old block There's an aching in my soul And I know you feel it too When there's nowhere else to turn I know you're up ahead And you know just what to do And won't you take me for a drive down an old dirt road And won't you ask me if I'm talking to the Lord And won't you tell me it'll be alright, alright Go to sleep by the fireside Wake up when the sun starts to rise My father They say an apple don't fall far But I didn't fall at all And I never lied to you from the floor And they say as we grow old We become the things we hate But I've only become the one I adore So won't you take me for a drive down an old dirt road And won't you ask me if I'm talking to the Lord And won't you tell me it'll be alright, alright Go to sleep by the fireside Wake up when the sun starts to rise My father My father Some days when I stop I think about the world ahead And I think about a world that don't have you And I can barely breathe Oh and I can barely speak Cause there's nothing I can say that won't make it true So won't you take me for a drive down an old dirt road And won't you ask me if I'm talking to the Lord And won't you tell me it'll be alright, alright Go to sleep by the fireside Wake up when the sun starts to rise My father My father
