Heywood was a daddy in 1942   He couldn't read or make his letters   He said, "Boy, I hope you don't do like I did"   And that was my dad he was talking to      So, my father grew up stronger   Bigger dreams and bigger plans   The first to go to college   But he can still work hard with his two hands   Thanks to his old man      Yeah, he learned to throw a baseball   How to sail a fishing line   He learned about forgiveness   'Cause you just can't waste the time      And the circle goes unbroken   But there's so much left undone   That's just how it is   Between a father and a son      Well, I became a daddy   At the age of twenty-three   I didn't know what I was doing   And my daddy wouldn't [Incomprehensible]   I felt lost at sea      So, I just kept it simple   Took it one day at a time   And followed in the foot-steps   Of the men that came before me in my life   And we're doing just fine      'Cause you learn to throw a baseball   How to sail a fishing line   And you learn about forgiveness   'Cause you just can't waste the time      And the circle goes unbroken   But there's so much left undone   But that's just how it is   Between a father and a son      And the circle goes unbroken   But there's so much left undone   And that's just how it is   Oh, that's just how it is   Between a father and a son   A father and a son   Between a father and a son
