Toe To Toe

Toe to Toe as we stand facing each other man to man/ Truth is what I want to hear, look am I moving I'm all ears/ Eye to Eye still standing teary eyed, come on pops no more lies/Truth is what it's worth, So it's time to quit all this hurt/ Because all you don't bring to the table/ You are what you are labeled/ So let's take the time to talk/ And burn some hours off the clock/ If you don't want to then it's cool/ Then the next word out of your mouth is of a fool/So Toe to Toe as we stand/ Contemplating the time at hand/ I forgive you while you're standing there/ Go ahead and shed a tear/ Thank you from putting me in this world/ And letting me know everything isn't diamonds and pearls/ Even though you will turn and run/I'm still proud to be your son/So as we stand Toe to Toe holding your U.S. flag/ I'll make sure I'll tell my kids all about you dad.
