DEREK JOHNSON

Lyrics

Ever since I could remember my parents were divorced
So it's time to go see mother who's living up north
Cause Dad he has his temper, blames his problems on someone else
He's never really learned how to look at himself

When dad is full of pride he isolates and hides
Looking back on good old days, and wants you on his side
But while he's on his rants about his law and his order
I'm going back to mom's farm across the Canadian border

Mom will always treat you with all of her love
And you know you're on her farm with the turbine spinning above
And if you get hurt, she'll fix you at no cost
And will let anyone in if they'll looking lost

When dad is full of pride he isolates and hides
Looking back on good old days, and wants you on his side
But while he's on his rants about his law and his order
I'm going back to mom's farm across the Canadian border

Now neither of them are perfect, this much is clear
They've moved onto neighbors land and treated them with fear
Mom at least knows of her mistakes and tries to look them in the eye
While Dad says he'll pay them back, and we all know that's a lie

When dad is full of pride he isolates and hides
Looking back on good old days, and wants you on his side
But while he's on his rants about his law and his order
I'm going back to mom's farm across the Canadian border
