 He was thinking back when  was a kid
 His folks were 
  old man high on something
  knocking at the door
 His mama wouldn't talk to 
 She said boy dontcha let  in
 
 She was cussing  pacing and wasting her life
  that linoleum floor
 He took him back to his old 
 Turned off the 
 His beautiful broken hero  the couch
 Passed out asleep
 And he put  to bed
 With  in his eyes
 He said dad I love you, 
 
 He  out into the night
 Seventeen years old
  up that rusty old pickup
 Turned his collar  the cold
 And he headed back to mama's 
  for his big escape
 And he tiptoed up the stairs  left a note
 In the  fold
 
 It said mom I wish I could wave a 
 And  you smile again
 Bring back  man who stole your heart
 'fore  demons got to him
 If I stay here any 
 Something sacreds  die
 He said mom I love  Goodbye
 
 Took a lot of  turns on the road
 Finding his life
 By the  of God he ended up
 With a little boy and a 
 And the phone call came  his sister
 It  that old familiar pain
 His mother was at  doorstep
 Of heaven's pure  light
 
 At  end of the service
  father came up to him
 Clear eyed  sober now he said
 Boy  took my sins
 And  pray someday maybe you'll forgive me too
  tears in his eyes
 He said son  love you, Goodbye
 
 His plane touched  in Texas
 He pulled out  phone
 Dialed in  number, got the machine
 Of his old  home
  said dad we got an extra room
 And  grandson has your eyes
 Couldn't say anything 
 Cause he  to cry
 And he choked out  I love you, Goodbye
 
 Dad I  you, Goodbye
