Father and Son Songtext
von Johnny Cash

It′s not time to make a change
Just relax and take it easy
You're still young, that′s your thought
There's so much you have to know

Find a girl, settle down
If you want you can marry
Look at me, I am old
But I'm happy

I was once like you are now
And I know that it′s not easy
To be calm when you′ve found
Something going on

But take your time, think a lot
Why think of everything you've got?
For you will still be here tomorrow
But your dreams may not


How can I try to explain
When I do, he turns away again
It′s always been the same
The same old story

From the moment I could talk
I was ordered to listen
There's a way and I know that I have to go away
I know I have to go

It′s not time to make a change
Just sit down and take it slowly
You're still young, that′s your thought
There's so much you have to go through

Find a girl, settle down
If you want you can marry
Look at me, I am old
But I'm happy

All the times that I cried
Keeping all the things I knew inside
It′s hard, but it′s harder to ignore it

If they were right, I'd agree
But it′s them you know, not me now
There's a way and I know that I have to go away
I know I have to go
