Dear Son Songtext
von Son Seals

I′ve been out on the road
A mighty long time
Couldn't wait to get back home
To see that woman of mine
But when I finally got there
I found a letter instead
I picked it up and read it
And this is what it said

Dear son
I′m sorry, baby, I'm moving on
Dear son
I'm sorry, baby, I′m moving on
Well, I hope that you understand
I found another man, dear son


Tried to figure out where she went
I didn′t have a clue
She not only took her coffee cup
But she took her coffee, too
The only thing that she left behind
Was written by a pen
I picked up that old sad note
And read those words again

Dear son
I'm sorry, baby, I′m moving on
Dear son
I'm sorry, baby, I′m moving on
Well, I hope that you understand
That I found another man, dear son

I thought that she was different
A little quiet, a little shy
Till that day that she ran off
And found another guy
I didn't know what I did
To make her disappear
To leave me with this lousy note
Crying in my beer


Dear son
I′m sorry, baby, I'm moving on
Dear son
I'm sorry, baby, I′m moving on
Well, I hope you understand
That I found another man, dear son

Now if you ever see her
Make sure you treat her right
Don′t be always travelin'
Make sure that you′re home at night
And don't ever let her catch you
With Sally, Betty, or Sue
′Cause you'll end up with a note
A note addressed to you

Dear son
I′m sorry, baby, I'm moving on
Dear son
I'm sorry, baby, I′m moving on
Well, I hope that you understand
That I found another man, dear son
