Waylon Jennings - Between fathers and sons

My fa^Dther had so much to tell me, things he said I had to ^Dsus4know Don't m^Gake my mistakes, there are rules you can't break but I had to find out on my ^Down Now when I look my own son, I know what my father went t^Ghru There's only so much you can ^Ddo You're ^A7proud when they walk, and scared when they run That's how it always has been between fathers and ^Dsons

It's a bridge you can't c^Gross, it's a cross you can't ^Dbear It's the words you can't s^A7ay, things you can't change, no matter how much you ^Dcare So you do all you ^Gcan, but then you gotta let g^Do You're just part of the ^A7flow of a river that runs between fathers and ^Dsons

Your mot^Dher will try to protect you, and hold you as long as she can But the h^Gigher you climb the more you will see that's something that I unde^Drstand One day you'll look at your own son, there'll be so much that you want to s^Gay But he'll have to find his own ^Dway On the r^A7oad he must take, the course he must run That's how it always has been between fathers and s^Dons

It's a bridge you can't ^Gcross, it's a cross you can't b^Dear It's the words you can't s^A7ay, the things you can't change, no matter how much you c^Dare So you do all you c^Gan, but then you gotta let ^Dgo You're just part of the f^A7low of a river that runs between fathers and s^Gons ^{A7 D}
