“Hey buddy, I was just calling to wish you a happy birthday
I called a couple times..And I been busy, and cleaning up…doing everything else
I’m sure you been busy too
Anyway, I wish you a happy birthday son
And I hope you had a great one
Keep it up alright. Keep on rocking. I love you.”
[Intro
“How bout a hand for brother Randy” Tennessee Born
I don’t know
Where Im going
Or how long I’ll be
Oh Tennessee, I long to see you…
[Verse
You know the age old adage
Time heals all wounds
Ain’t that Daddy
The Gods honest truth
100 Proof
They let sleeping dogs lie for a reason too, cus…
When you swimming at the bottom of the barrel
You put it all aside like it doesn’t even matter
Used to have a whole wave of things that used to be a bother
Then I set it all a drift like a message in a bottle…
I’m still the same ole G
But now I’m rocking with the Fam
And we branded P
Me and my old man, we linked back up
Now all these feelings inside got me all shook up
Now we kick it at the Shout House
With the pond out back, where we catching fish
With some cheap cigars, and we talking sh#t
Cut from the same cloth, two Parton men
[Oh Tennessee
I been gone for a minute, but now I’m back
[Oh Tennessee
I got 38 years of time, making it back
[Oh Tennessee
Yeah I’m only looking forward, I ain’t thinking the past
[Oh Tennessee
Feeling so, Feeling so
Feeling so good that I’m making it last
[Verse
Yeah we on to Round Two
Found out I got a Sister and a Nephew too
Even had an older Sister that’s no longer with us
Rest in Peace Tever, that’s God as my witness
It’s a shame that we never got to kick it
If you just like Daddy, then I already miss ya
It’s always a shame when a loved one gone
But as long as we around, then you’ll always live on…
Yeah we all know
That ya’ll all known
For singing ya’ll songs
But can’t none of my kin folk rap like this
Matter fact can’t nobody do it this slick
When you take an old clip and you remix the sh#t
By pulling out a sample of ya daddy doing it
It ain’t no damn wonder
This gon be the hottest summer
When the past meet the future
It’s gon be a m#th*rf#ck*r
[Oh Tennessee
I been gone for a minute, but now I’m back
[Oh Tennessee
I got 38 years of time, making it back
[Oh Tennessee
Yeah I’m only looking forward, I ain’t thinking the past
[Oh Tennessee
Feeling so, Feeling so
Feeling so good that I’m making it last
Verse 3 [over break and Hook 3
My favorite part of the song Is when they strip it down
And they let it run long
Been a long time hustling
A long time struggling
A long time simmering
A long time bubbling
Of letting the kettle just whistle like…
And hollering out for all the pieces that’s missing me
But now I’m putting together all the pieces that’s fixin to be
A picturesque image that I didn’t think was gonna be…
Anything more than a lost cause
But now its filling me just like the love for my son
Its been a slow play, but I’m playing it long
The life of me and my Dad, played out in a song
What could be more realer than that?
It’s running all through our veins, what type of beating is that?
It’s the type that only you and I could have in a pact
A father & his only son, it don’t get realer than that
So when I tell you that I love you and the past is gone
I mean the sh#t that I’m saying, it ain’t just here for a song
I know you’re sorry in advance for any hurt that you caused
The only way to make it up, is to show up through it all…
It took 38 years, but I’m still sitting hear
Right by ya side, and through the thick of it…
It’s the type that only you and I could have in a pact
A father & his only son, it don’t get realer than that
