They've got the calves of champions They greet the warmest way They are the dads, the main ones They've got some money saved (yea, I'm sorry but I don't) Another kind of cla**room Another shade of fear Another door you're shoved through Until you conquer your fear (And I wonder if I won't) To let the children go To feel themselves to hurt and grow It's the hardest thing i I've done And I haven't even done it yet
Thought I was wise, averted my eyes Avoided the light, went head down thru it But I was wrong I've gotta be strong And hold my head up high Failure is a state of mine Back in Ma**achusetts In my familiar role Afraid to make decisions But had to test my soul The girl wanted to live here And I follow my love Came to California Enough was never enough (Yea, I know, I know, I know)
