lirik lagu bill morrissey - north

[verse 1]
mama always said me and the old man were two of a kind
and now, just like he once did
i work these woods north of the c.p. line
mama gets upset when i call her
she’s living home alone
and i guess the old man’s voice and mine
always sounded the same over the telephone

[verse 2]
papa’s been gone six years now
he got to choose the how and when and where he’d die
i think about him after work sometimеs
once i’ve passed thе halfway point on a fifth of rye
papa told me once a man must work if he’s going to take care of his
and you’ve got to work the big woods when that’s the only work there is
but the big woods will just use you up
drain your strength and soul, and ask for more
until you find yourself a broken man pushing forty
who just can’t do the job no more

[verse 3]
tonight in this bar i caught myself holding a cigarette
the same strange way he did
so i raised my glass and i drank a round to the old man
and the old man’s kid
i believe i was the last one to see the old man alive
he lost his job at forty~one, took himself out at forty~five
i saw him walking down the tote road
with his twelve~gauge pump and a pint of rye
and it just wasn’t in me to stop him
goodbye, papa, goodbye
