Torn Apart

Reachin inside for somethin deep and personal.......Torn ApartPops and his son used to have fun2 Generations being as oneWorkin together side by sideEach with a laff, along for the rideSomething changed one winter dayFathers son started to strayNow pops dont even know where he livesHoldin on to hugs he's waiting to giveChorusNobody seems to knowWell,That's just how it goesPops keeps it close to his heartThat;s how it goes in a family torn apartTorn Apart,Torn Apart,Torn Apart ,Torn apartNothin to blame but a bad chioceNow pops don't hear his son's voiceHe tried to tell him to choose the right pathBut That didn't lastNow he's runnin from the lawHis smilin face was the last thing dad sawNow hes hidin like a scared little mouse .He's hopin he don't go to the big houseChorusThen theres the grandson in this crimeDAd ruined it all when he crossed the lineGramps and grandson in a world imperfectShare the same birthmarks on the back of their neck.Pops fights a tear in his eyeThinkin how quicly life passes byPops and son don't talk anymorePops hopin that he'll walk thru that door.Choruspenned on Sunday July 7th ,played on my medusa reso, recorded wit a Tascam handheld DR 07mkI.....,thanx for listening

My eyes can see how much you are truly torn apart, sometimes people just go their own way, but like the kid always does, he comes around again, acting like nothing happened, my heart feels your personal pain, i love you, and always will
