Lyrics

Forsaken

Here's lookin' at ya son, he said
Noddin' eye to eye
Admire the way you handle life these days
We sipped Jim Beam and cola slow
Close as buddies do
I looked him up and down and wondered why

A man as true as him was where he was
Livin' on his own, strange from his wife
Thirty married years
Two daughters and a son
Forsaken in a crisis of mid-life

Still love ya dad, I told him straight
Noddin' eye to eye
But don?t know why you did the things you've done
We sipped Jim Beam and cola slow
Close as buddies do
He said it's hard to fathom reasons why

The man you're talkin' to is where I'm at
Livin' on my own, strange from my wife
Yes thirty happy years
Two daughters and my son
Forsaken in a crisis of mid-life

I got this urge to start again,
Find a better way
Just felt there had to be some more to life
He drank Jim Beam and cola quick
Seekin' out the words
To blame his mid-life crisis, not his wife

Here's lookin' at ya son, he said
Noddin' misty eyes
It's nice to see you list'nin' like you care
That mid-life crisis wrecked my life
Nothin' in return
And now way past the chance to compromise

The man you're talkin' to is where I'm at
Livin' on my own, strange from my wife
Yes thirty happy years
Two daughters and my son
Forsaken in a crisis of mid-life

Yes thirty happy years
Two daughters, you my son
Forsaken in a crisis of mid-life

Here's lookin' at ya son, he said
Noddin' eye to eye
Admire the way you handle life these days
We sipped Jim Beam and cola slow
Close as buddies do
I looked him up and down and watched him cry
We sipped Jim Beam and cola slow
Close as buddies do
I looked him up and down and we both cried
I looked him up and down and we both cried
