Les Olinger songs
Pretty self explanatory, a conversation with DAD... 2nd verse came about 10 years later
Mom loved this one
Papa
Words and Music by Les Olinger
Well my Papa used to tell me you gotta watch who you run with...
or you'll get in trouble son
He said stay away from that booze and them wild women...
Lord stay away from those guns
He said live a good life find yourself a little wife
and settle down and have a child or two
buts it's been twenty seven years and
all I've got's my bottle and my blues
Hey there Pops tell me...
what am I gonna do...
He said Son you know it's all up to you
Just live good and do the best you can...
And son... be your own kind of man...yeah
Well as the years go on I began to understand the song
that the old man sang to me
Well the wisdom of his years
and the pain in his eyes were clear to see
Though he passed away and an early age
his dreams and goals were never realized
I'm here to say if he were here today
he be proud of his youngest child's life... yeah
Hey there Pops I know now what to do...
like you said dad... every day is new
I'm just living good and doing the best I can ...
And Dad, I'm my own kind of man ...yeah
