Drive In Movie

Five o clock friday a hot afternoon 
Daddy will be home from work real soon

Here he comes pulling into the driveway
58 Chevy pickup ill drive that truck someday

Into the house he went he had a hard day
Brother and i following behind him daddy daddy daddy

Momma cooking spaghetti aroma filled the house
Momma said wash your hands boys dont shout

After dinner daddy said lets go to the drive in
I jumped up and down momma said whats playin

Goldfinger Steveve McQueen The Great Escape
Wow i thought in my mind i cant wait

Out of the house we all left 
Into the car we all piled in 56 Olds Rocket 88

At the drive in were pullin in
Daddy paid 50 cents each kids under 12 free were in

Almost dark now movie about to start 
A big cockaroach ran across the cars dash momma jumped out of the car

Those were fun times a kid growing up
Memories of the drive in daddy made it happen just for us

Spacedad

Wow swweetheart what a rush i got zooming in from outer space
and landing at your front door and talking to you at the same time.
I swear i had an outer body experience. It was a fantastic journey. I really mean it. Any moment i was waiting for you to come outside. I was so close to you it seemed real. Wow it made my day. What a lift in spirits for both of us. You mean so much to me sweetheart. I am the luckiest dad in the world to have you. I feel an energy of positiveness is surrounding you at all times more than ever Like ESP. A good change is slowly unfolding for you. I really feel that. I just feel great. I love you my number one daughter...Spacedad.

My Daughter

The day she arrived what a proud mqn i was
Felling as high as the heavens yes i was

My beautiful little daughter all ten fingers and toes
Right down to her cute little button nose

Yes i think back to that glorious day
Thanking god for her on her birth day

She grew up fast before you knew it she was twelve
The happy times i enjoyed watching her grow

Now its time for me to go we both know why
Heartache and sorrow we both cried

Years passed both of us not knowing
Lives we were living paths we had taken

Then after years of emptiness in my heart
My daughter found me and rekindled my life

In a letter she wrote i must have closure
Lets talk things out and think it over

Getting to know one another again
Is the happiest of times ill say it again

Never again will i lose you my precious daughter
Daddys come home amen

Her New Beginning

Shes been around the block not her first rodeo
Tormented in her mind the thought of those fellows

In the night she leaves so so beautiful and young 
Admired by the sick beings that would abuse her young

Misery she suffered her soul stepped on and crushed
The day after in the mirror she looked stop this abrupt

Time went on dabbleing in lust experimenting freely 
While she sleeps the nightmares come just as freely

Came the day when she saw it come to an end
Her child was taken she had to make amends

 She conformed to the rules of whats just and right
Redemption she saught in her mind she had done right

Soon mother and child will be reunited
Its her new beginning family delighted

60s Kid

Angel bars sissy bars and banana seats
The rolling stones what a cool beat

Cronkite 6pm news telling of Kennedys death
Just a young boy i really didnt understand yet

Mother would say you kids go outside and play
Cigar box marbles jacks made my day

Saturdays came i couldnt wait
Fishin for bream boy did i stay late

One particular christmas i remember very well
A johnny seven i got that was sure swell

I knew my boyhood would soon be over
53 chevy it was my time to take over

The Soldier

Up in the morning before the rising sun
Out on the road getting ready to run

I ate my breakfast to soon
Hungry as hell before noon

Iwent to the mess seargeant on my knees
I said seargeant seargeant wont you feed me please

The mess seargeant said with a mean old grin
If you want to be airborne youve got to be thin

C130 rolling down the strip
Airborne mama on a oneway trip

Stand up hook up shuffle to the door
Jump right out on the count of four

If my main dont open wide 
Ive got another one by my side

And if that one should fail the test
Burry me in the leaning rest
