I m gonna quit singing all these sad songs cause I can t stand the pain
Oh the life I sing about now and the one I live is the same
When I sing them old songs of daddy s seems like every one comes true
Lord, please help me do I have to be the living proof
Why just the other night after the show an old drunk came up to me
"Said you ain t as good as your daddy boy and you never will be"
Then a young girl in old blue jeans said I m your biggest fan
its a good thing that I was born Gemini cause I m living for more than one man.
Remember Jimmy and Hank and Johnny they where in the summer of life
When you called them away Lord I don t want to pay that price
Don t let my son ever touch a guitar may he never sing the blues
Let him be free don t make him be more living proof
I don t want to be a legend I just want to be a man
But lord you know sometimes I ve needed a helping hand
And it ain t been so easy lately I ve had to go it all alone
But I ve always had anything I ve ever wanted except a home
I m gonna quit singin all them sad songs cause I can t stand the pain.
Oh the life I sing to you about and the one I live is the same
Yes I ve sang them old songs of daddy s and now seems they ve all come true
Lord please help me, do I have to be, the living proof
Lord please help me I don t want to be their living proof
