Tommy

[Verse 1]
Strong as an ox, he was tough as a bull
He had stories and poems and dirty jokes
I came in running with my brother in tow
We had dirt on our knees, climbing on his feet to show him

[Verse 2]
He hardly spoke and he cheated at poker
If someone got angry, he'd crack a joke
Didn't always go over, but the kids would laugh
Then he'd play in the corner 'till he closed the gap

[Chorus]
Oh Tommy I love that one
You used to sing it when you were young
Play it again, my love
For the kids to remember when they grow up

[Verse 3]
I miss my grandfather, the way that wе were
Singing out of time, 'causе he never finishes words
A house full of instruments now safely with his kids
And his music in my bones and in my body when I was built

[Chorus]
Oh Tommy I love that one
You used to sing it when you were young
Play it again, my love
For the kids to remember when they grow up
Tommy I love that one
You used to sing it when you were young
Play it again, my love
For the kids to remember us
