Mitch’s Song

You were the oldest son
And I was the baby boy
Daddy was harder on you
Truth is, you were too
You were the responsible one
And I was the dreamer in awe
More was expected of you
Tell me, what was an oldest son to do

And where would I be without my brother
To learn from and look up to
And how would I find my way without you
Clearing a path through
Tell me, where would I be without you

Now you have an oldest son
And a baby boy
Two little angels in between
Alex, Velda, Ellie, and Gene
And you're a responsible dad
I still observe in awe
When so much is expected of you
Tell me, what is a father to do

And where would they be without their Daddy
To learn from and look up to
And how would they find their way without you
Clearing a path through
Tell me, where would they be without you

All my dreams have now come true
I have two sons
Oh, I named one after you
So, brother, pray for me
To be the kind of father
To clear a path through

Where would they be without their Daddy
To learn from and look up to
And how would they find their way without me
Clearing a path through
Where would they be, where would they be, yeah
Where would they be, yeah, where would they be
