Broken Honors

(hummmmm) My son walked through the kitchen door

Said he took a life,

couldn't take no more

So I grabbed a couple of cold beers

Sat him down to face his darkest fears

I looked him in the eye,

handed him a can

Told him owning up to your shit makes you a man (yeah)

Before we even finished up that first brew

Red and blue lights cut the darkness through

Cops pulled up in the gravel

yard

And they took his ass down,

real hard

Watched the tail lights fade away

Nothing left for me

to say (ahhhh)
