Lumps In Our Throat

Son you got gone today they got you while I was away Mac you knew it was comin you finally stopped runnin at least you'll be home someday Oh baby, this lump in my throat! Son you left your room a mess you did it on purpose I geuss you knew as I cleaned it would help you get weaned but to me it's a great test This damn lump in my throat. Son you even broke the bed tells me you're outta you head maybe I'll leave it that way so nobody else can stay ain't no one can sleep in your bed This huge lump in my throat... Reminds me when I would hear the sound you make when you clear the lump in your throat then I'd know you were home then I could sleep without fear At least you'll be home someday but to me it's a great test ain't no one can sleep in your bed I'll try to sleep without fear You too, ok?
