I think back when I was young
He stood right there
My father looked at me and then sat in his chair
He looked up at me and said son ill always be here
But I look now and don’t see him by my side

The flashback starts and I see him in his car
Were driving down the road going no where
We sit and talk and our favorite song comes on
My father loved me and I knew sometimes he wasn’t right
But he tried his best, I know I’m always on his mind

I think back a couple year and all I see is a broken family
With no one here but my sisters trying to raise me
I knew they tried to do everything for me
I want to repay them
But at least I know I wont be all alone

The flashback starts and I see him in his car
Were driving down the road going no where
We sit and talk and our favorite song comes on
My father loved me and I knew sometimes he wasn’t right
But the day came when everything just wasn’t right

My sister came home
And she looked so alone
All I know is she left trying to help us
Wanting the best for everyone
Even if she wasn’t here

Its my freshman year and I look back trying to stay out of everyone’s way
I try to make a smile because I know I wont be alone
I got my sister and she said shell come back someday
She pulled up the very next day and I could believe
That we had everything

The flashback starts and I see him in his car
Were driving down the road going no where
We sit and talk and our favorite song comes on
My father loved me, but this time
I know things aren’t going to be the same
I was only eight when he left without a trace
But I look at things now and I just think of where to go
But all I know
Is at least I’m not alone
No, I know I’m not alone
