Leaving At Dawn
The Almost Man - Allan Taylor
As my father lay dying, I was holding his hand
He said,
Someday there's one thing you must understand
All my life I've been an almost man
Don't make the same mistake as me
Cause I've never got to drive a real fast car
Nor get crazy drunk in a downtown bar
And I've never even got to go that far
There was so much I wanted to see
When he made it back from that terrible war
Things would going to be
different from they'd been before
'Cause he had a family and a love to live forward
He got a job, and he settled down
He worked real hard to keep the family tight
Every day he did what he thought was right
But he never got ahead and tried as he might
He was always just breaking even
And before in your hand, it was all too late
His time had passed and time can't wait
There're some things in life that you just can't beat
It's a fight you’re never gonna win
When he died, his ashes were sent through the post
And I thought about what he would have wanted the most
So I went and bought that real fast car
and I damned the curse
Then I struck to meet him, we hit the highway
Hey old man, now you know how it feels
Isn't she just the greatest set of wheels?
She is a bright red beauty of cool polish deal
We're gonna turn some heads today
We drove like the wind down to London town
We got crazy drunk and started falling down
When a new day broke and we came around
I took him down to look at the sea
We stood on Brighton Beach, where it all began
Where my father's son became a man
And I said to him, now you can understand
What you have meant to me
'Cause I got you that ride in a real fast car
We got crazy drunk in a downtown bar
And we made it together and we've come this far
And I did it all for you
So I will take that ride, well it's given for free
I will be the man he always wanted to be
And if somehow he is looking down on me
I know he will smile and say, you did it well
Let's take that drive in a real fast car
Let's get crazy drunk in every downtown bar
Let's get on the road and follow that golden star
Take it all the way to the end
Let's get on the road and follow that golden star
Take it all the way to the end
