Doing Things Right
Hold your head high
Don't you cry
I'm raising men
Not children
Wipe your eyes
Arrows out
Pick up your cross
My child
Don't be selfish
Give me a smile
I'm tired
Of doing things right
I'm alone
Every damn night
I'm just a kid
Who followed
The painful ways
Of his mother and father
Now there's a girl
Who's gone pulling at strings
She don't understand
The other ends
Are tied so tight
To heavy things
Deep inside
This woeful man
She's sticking her salty hands
In a gaping wound
She thinks she's just
Patting his back
And saying hello
But the truth is he's tired
Of doing things right
The truth is he's alone
Every damn night
He's just a kid
Who followed
The painful ways
Of his mother and father
He's gonna change his ways
And shatter DNA
In a breathtaking display
May the bridges he burns
Light the way
To a shining new hope
And a home where he is safe
Don't you cry
I'm raising men
Not children
Wipe your eyes
Arrows out
Pick up your cross
My child
Don't be selfish
Give me a smile
I'm tired
Of doing things right
I'm alone
Every damn night
I'm just a kid
Who followed
The painful ways
Of his mother and father
Now there's a girl
Who's gone pulling at strings
She don't understand
The other ends
Are tied so tight
To heavy things
Deep inside
This woeful man
She's sticking her salty hands
In a gaping wound
She thinks she's just
Patting his back
And saying hello
But the truth is he's tired
Of doing things right
The truth is he's alone
Every damn night
He's just a kid
Who followed
The painful ways
Of his mother and father
He's gonna change his ways
And shatter DNA
In a breathtaking display
May the bridges he burns
Light the way
To a shining new hope
And a home where he is safe
