about

In my 25-year career, I have performed with my dad Warren playing keyboards many times, but we have never recorded together. On an album dedicated to family history that also belongs to him, it was not only right but essential. So I tried to write something musically in his wheelhouse, and I'm happy that he liked it enough to be willing to do it. From the perspective of "the bridge" between aging parents and being a parent myself.

lyrics

Words & music ©2019 Catalooch Music, BMI

We are all born screaming, naked and afraid,
looking back it’s funny seeing, all those plans I made
We'd throw our balls and race our bikes, sometimes dare to dream
manhood ain't as hard as, fathers make it seem

I guess it's just the way of things, we take our place in line
like our fathers and their fathers did, when it was their time
Now we're slowly trading places, I suppose those are the rules,
father time won't suffer any fools

Chorus:
all those things we cannot say
perfectly imperfect at, getting out of our own way
but we do not, we will not, could not though we know it's true
Nothing else gets quite as tangled up in knots, as sons and fathers do

Leave behind settling old scores
Gotta meet him where he’s at, on the bridge or that far shore

Now it’s my turn in that easy chair, it's the hardest thing I’ve done
Though any man can take the gig, it ain't for everyone
the have tos and the must dos, credit and the blame we earn
Hoping what we teach, is what they need to learn
