All mommy's and daddy's work for nothing
brought you here to make you something
Make them proud
and hold their head in a crowd
Twenty some years a waste
Couldn't find a lawyer to view your case
Was not raised there
it just doesen't't seem fair
Going back
with only a sack
All your money and taxes
they cant fax it
Treated you as a criminal
gave you the minimal
Left behind a baby
and no real lady
Your one and only son
but you signed so it is done
Can't really cry
cause I didn't get the chance to say bye
But I will miss you
and I'm sure you'll miss me too.
