Fuchsia Fathers

Do as I say not as I do Made muddy mistakes you don’t want to Watch player past Make green money fast Life a black flash Not for sale dad Trying to be strong Walking licorice line Doing red rights white wrongs Paint purple tribe Emerald era for you Caramel kids choice Tears chilly blue Don’t fill the void So I’m your boy Was Tom-Boy as teen Grew jaded joy Your voice your dreams You wrote me songs Fuchsia future plans You made me own Who I really AM Do as I say not as I do Made muddy mistakes you don’t want to You made me smile You made me wild You made me fierce I made you proud Daddies aren’t perfect Words be peach prayers Gladly deserted No hazel hate no denim despair You taught me well Hands that feed bite You gave me flare Gonna be free as a bird my life Some daddies live Some daddies die Some daddies give Some daddies don’t try You were not simple Smoky sinners are not Rosy smile and dimple Still a black star Father’s Day is crazy I never visit your grave Not that I’m shady You taught me to shoot straight I visit your warm spirit In my every good deed done I defy lemon lyric Of a molesting father-son I am not hungry You fed me gold hope I am not running From all those silver goals You told me once “I work beg borrow steal for you” So like a good one I will do all RIGHT by you
