BigJohn - Can't Fill Your Shoes lyrics

I just wanna hit you up and let you know that your on my mind everyday I know we can’t talk I know I can’t see ya But maybe one day we’ll meet again till then Imma pray about doe I miss you every morning I miss you every night I got a real job I got up out da streets But the money still tight I’m tryin do good I’m tryin to live right I’m trying to make mends with the people in my life And since you went away a lot of things changed I moved to Tennessee but now I’m back in the state It’s been a lot of pain down this long lonely road I know your smiling down And wishing you was here I wish you was too My eyes full of tears We didn’t get along Back when I was young Back when I was dumb Trying be a thug but you still showed love (Chorus) Alone here tonight Got you on my mind Wishing all these years I hadn’t been so blind Now my boys like me and I’m like you And watching him grow I see your point of view We all got regrets from the paths we choose I try like hell but can’t fill your shoes I just want hit you up and let you know that your on my mind everyday I can’t fill your shoes I can’t fill your shoes I’m doing what I can I tryin to be a good dad and a better man You used to make me laugh You used to make me smile But now when I think about you all I do is cry And when my time comes I know we will meet again Never took for granted all the things that you did Your love was unconditional cause I was your kid And when you got sick I never seen it coming They had you on life support they said you wouldn’t make it They said your heart was weak and your body couldn’t take it I got down on my knees and I just started praying Please sing take my dad cause I don’t understand Everything was fine and everything was grand I can’t lose him now I need another chance The very next day when you opened up your eyes Another six months I was there by your side (Chorus) Alone here tonight Got you on my mind Wishing all these years I hadn’t been so blind Now my boys like me and I’m like you And watching him grow I see your point of view We all got regrets from the paths we choose I try like hell but can’t fill your shoes I just want hit you up and let you know that your on my mind everyday I can’t fill your shoes Alone here tonight Got you on my mind Wishing all those years I hadn’t been so blind Now my boys like me and I’m like you And watching him grow I see your point of view We all got regrets from the paths we choose I try like hell but can’t fill your shoes I can’t fill your shoes And when my times comes I know we’ll meet again I never took for granted all the things that you did
