Paroles de The Shadow

There I was just mindin' my own business When I saw a shadow out the corner of my eye I'd seen that shadow once before, in my life Well, it was the day my father died So I turned and I fled, but that shadow gave chase Caught me down a dead end way To my surprise when he opened his mouth Well, I could hear my father say He said: Son, I know just where you've been, yeah And I know just how you'll meet your end You better turn from the path that you're on Lest you end up just like your old man Hold up, wait a minute there man! Like Did you forget who you were? You used to beat my mother down Well, she left your sorry ass, because you wouldn't choose Your wife and son over your booze Now, I ain't a damn thing, like the man you used to be You better go back to where you belong, ohh And maybe then you'll begin to see Oh Oh
