Who are You?

Who Are You? - AJJ

Who are you

And where did you go

Where are you from

What do you know

You're in my blood

You're in my hair

You're in my heart

You're in the air

I met you once over the phone

You sounded sad and you seemed alone

You left me but I never left you

I never had the chance to

Music was the one thing

We would have had in common

You were my age when I was born

Would I have done what you did

Would I do what you have done

I like to think I'm a bigger man than that

You had some problems with alcohol

You took 12 steps and you solved them all

It took 16 years for you to call

What gave you the brave to pick up that ball

You played the trumpet and the drums

While my mom sang at funerals

I play guitar til my hands are numb

You two are where music comes from for me

So thank you so much for not raising me

You spent your life on better things

And you would have been an awful dad

Thank you though for those genes you had
