Well, it took three shots of whiskey
Just to let these feelings out
Of a heart grown old and weary
And riddled with self-doubt
Counting regrets with every swallow
Failures numbered one by one
But the one I can’t get over
Is the way I lost my son
Yes, it’s been a real hard Christmas
But I guess you made your choice
And I’d give a million lifetimes
Just tonight to hear your voice
You were Daddy’s little sequel
But your Daddy wasn’t strong
And he left you to face struggles
No one could endure alone
I was lost in my own weakness
You got lost without me there
You surrendered to the darkness
Your defenses all laid bare
Now, you’re bitter and you’re angry
How I miss my pride and joy
What I’d give to turn those pages back
When you were my baby boy
And regret’s a bad companion
When you look at all you’ve lost
And all those coward’s alibis
Aren’t worth the pain they’ve cost
Tonight, I reach for you again
Without much new to say
And touch the one I love the most
Two hundred miles away
