Lyrics

Good morn ing son

You want a Coke?

I’ve got all the change.

Ev ’ry bo dy knows it hurts to grow up

and ev ’ry bo dy does.

It’s so weird to be back here.

Let me tell you what the years go on and (C)we’re still fight ing it, (C)we’re still fight ing it.

and you’re

(F6)like me,

Good morn ing son

may be we’ll both sit down and have a few beers.

And I can tell

I knew you’d feel same

And

Good morn ing son

And I can tell
