Heywood was a daddy in 1942
Couldnt read or make his letters
He said Boy I hope you dont do like I do
That was my dad he was talking to
So my father grew up stronger
Bigger dreams and bigger plans
The first to go to college
But he can still work hard with his two hands
Thanks to his old man
Yeah he learned to throw a baseball
How to set a fishin line
He learned about forgiveness
Cause u just cant waste the time
And the circle goes unbroken
But theres so much left undone
But thats just how it is between a father and a son
I became a daddy at the age of 23
Didnt know what I was doing
And my daddy he wasnt thru yet raisin me
I felt lost at sea
I just kept it simple
Took it one day at t time
Tried to follow in the footsteps
The men that came before me in my life
Were doin just fine
Cause you learn to throw a baseball
How to set a fishin line
You learn about forgiveness
Coz u just cant waste the time
And the circle goes unbroken
But theres so much left undone
And thats just how it is between a father and a son
Yeah the circle goes unbroken
But theres so much left undone
Thats just how it is,
Thats just how it is between a father and a son
A father and a son, hmmm
Between a father and a son
