My phone's ringing
I pick it up, driving down highway 22
That's where I had to take all the bad news
Tunnel vision
I thought this would resolve
But you got a different test result
You said I was your pride and your joy
I'll always be your sonny sonny boy (Why'd you have to go?)
Patience, perseverance, and direction
Live by those words my son
My bones are shakin'
When I get to the basement
And I see what the look on your face meant
I feel a lump in my throat but that's what your MRI showed
I'll never forget that moment
You said I was your pride and your joy
I'll always be your sonny sonny boy (Why'd you have to go?)
Patience, perseverance, and direction
Live by those words my son
Don't go
Don't go
Mr. Miller, if you could see your son now
You'd be so damn proud
Don't go
Don't go
Don't go
Don't go into the light
From your hospital bed tonight
Got one coming of his own
He'll be the dad you taught him to be
Don't go
Don't go
Don't go
Don't go Into the light
From your hospital bed tonight
Got one coming of his own
You'd be so damn proud
You said I was your pride and your joy
I'll always be your sonny sonny boy (Why'd you have to go?)
Patience, perseverance, and direction
Live by those words my son
