lyrics

Too young and restless
Reckless and sentenced to a life of bad habits and Daddy’s last name

Well I’s too young and restless
Reckless and sentenced to a life of bad habits and Daddy’s last name
Never good at much like he once was
I had to hear it everyday
Every single day
I mean every single day

Til I grew tired of all the bitching
How I was too rough around the edges
Like Father like Son
Been counting down the days ‘til I turned 18 and reconsidered Laramie

So I tried college out of state hoping to fix my ways
Spend a few years with Mama out East
Majored in brown liquor, powders and strange
Til I dropped out dreaming rodeo dreams
My favorite kind of dreams

Last night I got a call from my sister saying Daddy’s getting sicker
He can’t keep up with farm
Lost of all his help and his money to fix it
Now he don’t got time or the heart
No time or the heart
No one gots the time or the heart

So I grew tired of all the bitching
How I was too rough around the edges
Like Father like Son
One of these nights maybe I’ll get clean and reconsider Laramie

So I grew tired of all the bitching
How I was too rough around the edges
Like Father like Son
One of these nights maybe I’ll get clean
Stop handing out the ammunition
Redefine my disposition
Reconsider the silence
Reconsider the space between and reconsider Laramie
