Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][F][Bb][C][F]

[Verse 1]
I've [F]seen my
mama [C]cry for days,
cause she [Bb]knew my dad was [C]weak
And [F]soon his name be[C]came a word
we [Bb]both were ashamed to [C]speak[F][C]
[Bb]Just before he [C]went away,
he [F]set me on his [Bb]knee
He said, [C]son, I'm bad,
but I'm still your dad
And I [Bb]wish you'd listen to [C]me
Cause I know what I am for, just no good
And I don't want you to turn out like that,
uh -uh
[Bb]Don't do [F]like I've done, son
Don't you [Bb]throw your [F]life [C]away
[Bb]Don't do [F]like I did, kid
[Eb]Do like I sa[F]y[G][C]
Now they say I'm like my [G]daddy,
my [F]kind of life is [G]bad
I [C]got me a woman that [G]hates me,
and a [F]son that calls me [G]dad
My [F]worried mind grows [G]heavy
as I [C]take him on my [F]knee
To [G]tell him that I'm leaving
and not to [F]be like my dad and [G]me
I say, look at me boy, I'm a mess
And I don't want you to turn out like this,
no sir
[Bb]Don't do [F]like I done, son
Don't you [Bb]throw your [F]life [C]away
[Bb]Don't do [F]like I did, kid
[Eb]Do like I say
