Do the KISS, Rush & Elton John posters I had on my wall as a kid ensure that my kids will spend their 20's & 30's in a van, playing music with their friends?
Try to imagine that my voice wasn't shredded.
lyrics
The smoking guitar
You set the bar
Higher than anything I'd seen
You played with fire
Walked on a wire
Like something from out of a dream
Did we pass it along?
Did they inherit my song?
Some silly tight pants
Too awkward to dance
But you sing like a bird in the wind
Tubular bells
This much I can tell
It seemed a good place to begin
Did we pass it along?
Did they inherit my song?
The sins of the fathers
The sons & the daughters
Are doomed to life on the road
In time we will see
If they're just like me
50 states to call their own
50 states to call their home
Thousands of glasses
You spoke to the masses
The truth, with a small dash of lies
We heard you call out
You dealt with the fallout
Told you we didn't mind
Did we pass it along?
Did they inherit the song?
The sins of the fathers
The sons & the daughters
Are doomed to life on the road
In time we will see
If they're just like me
50 states to call their own
50 states to call their home
--- insert bad-ass harmonica solo here ---
Do we pass it along?
Do they inherit our songs?
The sins of the fathers
The sons & the daughters
Are doomed to life on the road
In time we will see
If they're just like me
50 states to call their own
The sins of the fathers
The sons & the daughters
Are doomed to life on the road
In time we will see
If they're just like me
50 states to call their own
50 states to call their home
