lyrics

My old man was a Steely Dan fan
He liked to laugh and joke, shaved his head for a carton of smokes
Back in his day, not a lot to say
Cutting class and smoking grass, gone on his way

And you know he don’t take no advice
Cause’ he just do what he like
And it always was that way
What can you say?
When you play your own way, sometimes you pay

My best man, brought me up to jam
When we were young, filled up them lungs

And you know he don’t take no advice
Cause’ you just do what you like
And it always was that way
When you play your own way
And the dreams you had all fade
And it feels like you can’t stay so you’re on your way

9/10 and you, my friend

Followed you down to a warm and western town
and me I sang, right back to where we began
