2. Harry Chapin (1942-1981) 3. Cat's in the Cradle My child arrived just the other day He came to the world in the usual way But there were planes to catch and bills to pay He learned to walk while I was away And he was talkin' 'fore I knew it, and as he grew He'd say quot;I'm gonna be like you dad You know I'm gonna be like youquot;And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man on the moon When you comin' home dad? I don't know when, but we'll get together then son You know we'll have a good time thenMy son turned ten just the other day He said, quot;Thanks for the ball, Dad, come on let's play Can you teach me to throwquot;, I said quot;Not today I got a lot to doquot;, he said, quot;That's okquot; And he walked away but his smile never dimmed And said, quot;I'm gonna be like him, yeah You know I'm gonna be like himquot; 4. And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man on the moon When you comin' home son? I don't know when, but we'll get together then son You know we'll have a good time thenWell, he came home from college just the other day So much like a man I just had to say quot;Son, I'm proud of you, can you sit for a while?quot; He shook his head and said with a smile quot;What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys See you later, can I have them please?quot;And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man on the moon When you comin' home son? I don't know when, but we'll get together then son You know we'll have a good time then 5. I've long since retired, my son's moved away I called him up just the other day I said, quot;I'd like to see you if you don't mindquot; He said, quot;I'd love to, Dad, if I can find the time You see my new job's a hassle and kids have the flu But it's sure nice talking to you, Dad It's been sure nice talking to youquot;And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me He'd grown up just like me My boy was just like meAnd the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man on the moon When you comin' home son?

Papa Was A Rollin Stone It was the third of September; that day I'll always remember, 'Cause that was the day that my daddy died. I never got a chance to see him; Never heard nothin' but bad things about him. Mama I'm depending on you to tell me the truth.Mama just hung her head and said Son, Papa was a rollin' stone. Wherever he laid his hat was his home. And when he died, All he left us was alone.Hey Mama, Is it true, what they say that Papa never worked a day in his life? And Mama? Some bad talk goin' round town, That Papa had three outside children and another wife. And that ain't right! 9. Heard some talk about Papa doin' some storefront preachin'. Talkin' about savin' souls, and all the time leachin'. Dealin' in dirt! And stealing in the name of the Lord.Mama just hung her head and said: Papa was a rollin' stone. Wherever he laid his hat was his home. And when he died, All he left us was alone.Hey, Mama, I heard Papa call himself a jack of all trades. Tell me, is that what sent Papa to an early grave? Folks say Papa would beg, borrow, or steal to pay his bills. Hey, Mama, folks say Papa was never much on thinkin'; Spend most of his time chasin' women and drinkin'! Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth.Mama looked up with a tear in her eye and said Papa was a rollin' stone. Wherever he laid his hat was his home. And when he died, All he left us was alone. 10. 1976 11. Jackson Browne (1948- ) 12. Daddy's Tune A dirty wind blows through the sky And the Autumn leaves cut loose and y Leave me watching And wishing I could follow Though among the regrets that I can't get by There are just one or two Unkind things I said to you Daddy what was I supposed to do? I don't know why it was so hard to talk to you I guess my anger pulled me throughNo sooner had I hit the streets When I met the fools that a young fool meets All in search of truth and bound for glory And listening to our own heart beats We stood around the drum Though it's fainter now The older I become Living your life day after day Soon all your plans and changes Either fail or fade away Leaving so much still left to say 13. But Daddy I want to let you know somehow The things you said are so much clearer now And I would turn the pages back But time will not allow The way these days just rip along Too fast to last, too vast, too strongSomewhere something went wrong Or maybe we forgot the song Make room for my forty-ves Along beside your seventy-eights Nothing survives But the way we live our lives 14. 1991 15. 1991 16.
