I’m like
"Brother, you look like Superman, uh huh"
When the treatment took his hair from him, uh huh
But it
Didn’t really seem to take another god damn thing
He was
Strong as hell, he was
Calm as a tree
I’m like
“Brother, you could beat anything, uh huh”
When we’re paddlin’ out on Owsley, uh huh
Yeah, I know it’s complicated
And I hate it
You do this your way
And if you need a witch, I’ll pray
For you
And if
Cancer can take Superman down
Why the hell we fuckin’ around?
Take your worries and just drop ‘em in town
Take your somedays and just do ‘em right now
We only got a little time
In the grand scheme of things
Oh, you better take your time
And go chase your dreams
And do it, do it, do it, do it, do it
Yeah, do it, do it, do it, do it
Don’t be scared, just
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Do it

I was raised to hold disdain for my mother
Oh, the wrinkles on her hands and neck and shoulders
I was raised to hold disdain for her size
Oh, the belly that once held me like a prize
As I sit her tailoring the nightgown that she made
Oh, I realize that my own skin begins to look the same
I was raised to hold disdain for my mother
Oh, her handmade things and tendency to smother
I was raised to hold disdain for her power over me
Now I wish there was someone to tell me how the hell to be
As I sit her tailoring the nightgown that she made
Oh, I realize that my own skin begins to look the same
