about

My fathers generation of men often get a bad press,but they had something we never found again once they went.They took self-sacrifice for granted.

lyrics

in the super market just last week a kid pulled a knife on me i said for gods sake im sixty eight years old he had eyes like a cats i never saw nothing look so cold three weeks back just outside town our car broke down at the side of the road three young men laughed as my wife tried to start it again and i pushed and sweated and pushed and cursed and pushed until i thought my heart would burst and i would not let it go you just cant let things go i just cant let things go you see people talk about freedom but im a hard man to convince i was born pushing ive been pushing ever since ive been pushing ever since and im going to push and push until i push that car right over the hill you just cant let things go i just cant let things go last week our daughter came home and told me she was going to have a baby of her own when i asked her who the daddy was she said she didnt know i said thats some father you dont even know last night as we lay in bed my wife turned to me and said just when you think youve reached the end you find yourself having to push again and we said nothing as we lay side by side i just held her hand as she cried and cried and would not let it go you just cant let things go i just cant let things go you see people talk about freedom but Im a hard man to convince i was born pushing ive been pushing ever since ive been pushing ever since and im going to push and push until i push that car right over the hill you just cant let things go i just cant let things go
