Lyrics

Hey Dad, what are they saying about me back home?
What do you gotta tell them; do they think you raised me wrong?
In my darkest hours, I tell Jesus what I have and have not done
He says I might be going home before my father ever sees the Son
And I wonder Dad, do you ever think that I done wrong?

Courtroom battles, yeah they're saying what needs to be said
Wrong place, wrong time, wrong life, now someone's dead
Some day when these walls are just shadows in my head
What of the nameplate they've nailed above my bed?

And hey Dad, what are they saying about me back home?
What do you gotta tell them; do they think you raised me wrong?
In my darkest hours, I hope to someday see the sun
I read somewhere that lives like mine are just races run
And hey Dad, what do you think of what they've done?

Heroes come and heroes go
I'm just a man with the same tortured soul
As anyone walking around this old world
I just got a name you might recognize from some story you were told
I think they're always gonna talk about me back home

And hey Dad, what are they saying about me back home?
What do you gotta tell them?
