lyrics

This dog was tamed by his pup
Gave up on chasing his tail
Start digging holes in the backyard
Bury bones for the future
Settle down in one lawn
And pass on old tricks
Let him grow into his own
Even the greatest teachers get resented

Still know we love you
Just maybe not out loud
It's hard to admit
We'd be nothing without you
'Cause we're just too proud
Like father, love son

This man set aside his own dreams
To nurture the dreams of his son
I know I said that in the first verse
But the metaphors were cumbersome
While this bitch staked a claim to his life
And her bark was as bad as her bite
That one is hardly a metaphor
That's really what she's like

Still know we love you
Just maybe not out loud
It's hard to admit
We'd be nothing without you
We're just so proud
Like father, love son

Sorry for each one of the days I let pass
Without a "thank you"
For every single kick in my ass
Your lessons were ruthless
And your love: infinite
But the trouble with youth is
I could never appreciate it

This pup grew up in great debt
To his father, his grandfather's son
And like those fathers before him
He'd never understand until he had his own litter

Still know we love you
Just maybe not out loud
It's hard to admit
We'd be nothing without you
We're so fucking proud
Like father, love son
