Mason Jennings - Michael's Song lyrics

Up in the Midwestern cold Minnesota 18 years from here if you go by the roads Lived a man from Columbus, Ohio He's been my father since a long time ago He said, "I'll stay behind you" I'll stay behind you, I'll stay behind you, son of mine I'll stay behind you, I'll stay behind you I'll stay behind you till the day I die And I remember days and days and days, spinnin' harmony Christmas day spinnin' white oak park All those brown bags of a dollars worth of candy I saw him walk from a rap scene, then rap ever saw He said, "I'll stay behind you" I'll stay behind you, I'll stay behind you, son of mine I'll stay behind you, I'll stay behind you I'll stay behind you till the day I die I haven't seen ya much since I was 12 years old I don't suppose I'll see ya much on the rest of the road And you should know that I miss you often I miss your lap as much as you miss your mother's And I'll stay behind you I'll stay behind you, I'll stay behind you, son of mine I'll stay behind you, I'll stay behind you I'll stay behind you till the day I die I wonder if you picture me as sings rider to the sea Sometimes you wonder if I come out alive Well, up jumped Dingo he was grinning like 'whatever' I'm may stray far but I'll be back by five He said I'll stay behind you I'll stay behind you, I'll stay behind you, son of mine I'll stay behind you, I'll stay behind you I'll stay behind you, son of mine I'll stay behind you, I'll stay behind you I'll stay behind you, son of mine I'll stay behind you, I'll stay behind you I'll stay behind you till the day I die
