Father and Son
I can't get over how great this song is... anyway here it is.
Father and Son - Johnny Cash
(Father)
It's not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to know.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.
I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy,
To be calm when you've found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything you've got.
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.
(Son)
How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again.
It's always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
(Father)
It's not time to make a change,
Just sit down, take it slowly.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to go through.
Find a girl, settle down,
if you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.
(Son)
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it.
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them you know not me.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.

Hey man, I just happened on your blog using the next blog button. You sound like a hard working young man and I congratulate you. I agree this song is pretty darn great and I am sure that Johnny Cash did a bang up job on it. However, Cat Stevens was the man who penned it (I think). I see no reason why you can't still enjoy the song, if the sentiments ring true.
I hope this post doesn't sound to weird. If you don't know who Cat Stevens is, it might. I just presumed, that you might have a problem with him, based on how you describe yourself.
