Torn Apart

Reachin inside for somethin deep and personal......
.Torn Apart
Pops and his son used to have fun
2 Generations being as one
Workin together side by side
Each with a laff, along for the ride

Something changed one winter day
Fathers son started to stray
Now pops dont even know where he lives
Holdin on to hugs he's waiting to give

Chorus
Nobody seems to know
Well,That's just how it goes
Pops keeps it close to his heart
That;s how it goes in a family torn apart
Torn Apart,Torn Apart,Torn Apart ,Torn apart

Nothin to blame but a bad chioce
Now pops don't hear his son's voice
He tried to tell him to choose the right path
But That didn't last
Now he's runnin from the law
His smilin face was the last thing dad saw
Now hes hidin like a scared little mouse .
He's hopin he don't go to the big house
Chorus

Then theres the grandson in this crime
DAd ruined it all when he crossed the line
Gramps and grandson in a world imperfect
Share the same birthmarks on the back of their neck.
Pops fights a tear in his eye
Thinkin how quicly life passes by
Pops and son don't talk anymore
Pops hopin that he'll walk thru that door.

Chorus
