tin can brothers - the role of a lifetime كلمات الأغنية
[orlando, with scrags]
on a cold september night
back in 1982
mayberry memorial hospital
in the n.i.c.u
a scraggly baby cries
before a novice obstetrician
the maw maw almost dies
and pawpaw
paw paw
was at an audition
[orlando & scrags, scrags]
he could have had the role, role role
of a lifetime
but he never played a role role role
in mine
could’ve even been best supporting actor
but he never played a factor
a little voice work here
or a local ad
but it never added up
to dadgum bein’ a dad
[scrags]
he just rolled on down the road
like a rolling stone
[both]
well, a paw paw here
and a paw paw there
paw paw he was always everywhere
[scrags]
except here
or there
[orlando & scrags]
in the pawpaw chair
it’s neither here, nor there
just a pawpaw chair
[scrags]
from the time that maw maw gave me the bottle
never did i have me a male role model
no bass to my treble clef
just the papas on
[orlando & scrags]
tgif
step by step this boy met the world
never seemed like family mattered
no carl winslow or danny tanner
or even a frickin mr. feeny
[scrags]
didn’t have an auntie and uncle in bel air
i’d have taken me a philip banks
h_ll, i’d have settled for a homer simpson
or mufasa for goodness sakes
[orlando & scrags]
no tim the toolman to take me fishin
and you can’t play catch with peter griffin
alan thicke couldn’t teach me stick
let alone kiss a b00boo
roll on paw paw
later alligator
i wanted mrs. doubtfire
got darth vader
[scrags]
well ya nailed that role
no rebuke
but the hole in my soul is
i guess i couldn’t be luke
[orlando & scrags, scrags]
he could have had the role, role role
of a lifetime
but he never played a role role role
in mine
could’ve even been best supporting actor
but he never played a factor
just a bit part here
and a walk on there
memorizing lines in the pawpaw chair
some extra work
some pyramid schemes
and the occasional industrial
[scrags]
he just rolled on down the road
like a rolling stone
but it’s not too late
we can make things right
we can make up for lost time tonight
right here
namely there
in the pawpaw chair
it’ll be
[orlando & scrags]
just like
riding a bike
but like
if your dad never taught you how to ride a bike
or
getting back in the saddle
but you never rode a horse before
[scrags]
it’ll be
[orlando & scrags]
just like
christmas
an imaginary man that i used to believe in
and for some d_mn reason
i keep leavin him
cookies and cocoa and a letter
[scrags]
there
on the table by the pawpaw chair
the cookies went stale
the cocoa unsipped
the letters unread
and the script done flipped
you landed the role
but didn’t play the part
you missed curtain call
and you broke my heart
here, and there
in the paw paw chair
[orlando & scrags]
swing low lord
i want you to hear it
the father & the son
and the holiday spirit
i saved you a seat
but you couldn’t come near it
could ya paw paw!
[scrags]
if i close my eyes
and count to two
maybe when i open ‘em
i’ll see you
1, 2, nope
goddammit
[orlando & scrags]
paw paw!
