Time Well Spent

Daddy, why do you spend all your time writing?
Well my son let me tell you
It hurts way less 
Then when I spent all my time on women,drinking and fighting

And I want way more for you
And I know my writing to you isn't so exciting
But you would have never even met me 
Had I kept up all the drinking and fighting

So when you have a good thought
Something cool or sweet to say
Write it down my son
Id love to read them all someday
