The Night I Called The Old Man Out
Garth Brooks Song Lyrics
(Jenny Yates Garth Brooks) The dining room fell silent I can't believe what I just said I just told my dad he's full of it And I watched his face turn red And I should've said, I'm sorry But I matched him shout for shout I can still hear that screen door slammin' The night I called him out He said, Son it's gonna hurt me more than it hurts you But somehow I couldn't help but have my doubts 'Cause I'd seen my own dear brothers crawl back in the house Each time they called the old man out Fist to fist and eye to eye Standin' toe to toe He would've let me walk away But I just would not let it go Years of my frustration Had let me to this night Now he'll pay for all the times that he's been right He said, Son it's gonna hurt me more than it hurts you But somehow I couldn't help but have my doubts 'Cause I'd seen my own dear brothers crawl back in the house Each time they called the old man out It was over in a minute That's when I realized The blood came from my mouth and nose But the tears came from his eyes And in memory of that fateful night I know the greatest pain was his And I just pray some day I'm half the man he is He said, Son it's gonna hurt me more than it hurts you But somehow I couldn't help but have my doubts 'Cause I'd seen my own dear brothers crawl back in the house Each time they called the old man out Just like my own dear brothers I crawled back in the house The night I called the old man out |
