SONNY

Sonny - its been a long time
But I just couldn't pick up the phone
I'm still some miles away - from that kinda courage
And I guess finally I preferred to be alone
Well its true - I mighta made a few promises
And you can be sure - I meant to keep em all along
But something happened - don't know if I can explain it
Just call me the man whose heart turned to stone

A thousand people laughing
And I could not say a word
But in the heat of that last summer
I was flying like a bird

Sonny - you say you don't recognize me
In fact when I knew you - well I was wearing a beard
But one day I shaved and looked in the mirror
Decided to come out - come right out of there
Well me and your mom - well that was a long night
Can't say I'm proud - but I ain't ashamed
Don't you believe it - Well I ain't no cave man
We were both willing - but she lived with the blame

Chorus

So when she called - you coulda knocked me over
I thought it was a joke - than my laughter started to fade
So I drove down here - down to this damn prison
The last thing I expected - I see my boy sitting in a cage
So what can I say - give me a call when you want to
You can call me at work - and you can call my place home
I'll find a way out of this - not sure how I'm gonna do it
But you got a father - you're not completely alone

Chorus
