MUSIC (DEMOS)

HEY PAW, DID I EVER SAY THANKS?
FOR WAKIN’ UP EARLY
FEELIN’ ALL SQUIRRELY
WHEN THE TIME CLOCK PUNCHED YOUR EYES AWAKE
TO SEE JUST WHAT IT’D TAKE
TO GET YOU THROUGH THE DAYYYYYYYYYY…..
HEY PAW.

HEY PAW, DID I CONGRATULATE YA
ON THE CHOICE YOU MADE BACK IN ’67
WHEN YOUR HAIR WAS LONGER AND THE WORLD WAS HIGH
YOU SAW THROUGH WITH YOUR ONE GOOD EYE
AND SAID DONNNNNNAAAAAAAAA…..
WILL YA MARRY ME PLEASE?

HEY PAW, DID YOU KNOW HOW GLAD I WAS
TO SEE THE CAR PULL UP AT 3:30
WORKIN’ ALL DAY, FEELIN’ TIRED & DIRTY
BUT YOU PUT ON THE GLOVE AND BENT YER BAD KNEES
AND CHASED EVERY CURVEBALL I THREW IN THE TREEEEEESS
HEY PAW.

WELL I’VE TRIED TO LET YOU KNOW EACH YEAR
WHEN YOUR WEDDING DAY APPEARS
MY HEART’S BEATIN’ THAT SAME OL’ SONG
CAN HEAR IT FROM AN OCEAN LONG
AND I’LL SING IT ‘TIL THE DAY I’M GONNNNNNE….

HEY MAW? DO YOU KNOW I LOOK AT PICTURES OF YOU IN YOUR 20’S
AND WONDER HOW THERE WEREN’T A BUNCHA GUYS
THROWIN’ MONEY OUTTA WINDOWS OUTTA CARS
TRYIN’ TO TAKE YOU OUT TO THE BARS
AND SAY ‘YOU’RE PRETTYYYYYYYY…..’
HEY MAW.

HEY MAW? I KNOW I’VE SAID IT BEFORE
BUT I’LL SAY IT AGAIN
AND I’LL PROBLY SAY IT MORE
‘TIL THE DAY I CAN’T TALK AND THE DAY I CAN’T WALK
AND THERE’S A TUBE ON A BAG FROM A HOOK
AND THE NURSE IS PRETTTTTTTY ……..(YOUNG)
MAW, YA SURE CAN COOK.

HEY MAW? I MIGHT NOT HAVE CARED
ABOUT THE CLOTHES YA MADE ME WEAR
OR THE WAY YOU CUT MY HAIR
BUT YOU WERE EVER ALWAYS THERE
EVEN WHEN YOU HAD TO GO TO WORK
AND MAKE THE MEAT
TO PUT SHOES ON OUR FEET
YOU STILL FOUND TIME TO BE SWEEEEEEEEEET…….
HEY MAW.

WELL I’VE TRIED TO LET YOU KNOW EACH YEAR
WHEN YOUR WEDDING DAY APPEARS
OUR HEART’S ARE BEATIN’ THAT SAME OL’ SONG
& YOU CAN HEAR IT FROM AN OCEAN LONG
AND I’LL SING IT ‘TIL THE DAY I’M GONE….
HEY MAW.
HEY PAW. HEY MAW.
HEY MAW. HEY PAW.
I SURE DO LOVE YOU BOTH.
