[00:13.700]He sat down, picked up the phone
[00:16.570]Said Boy, I'm your old man
[00:18.880]
[00:19.760]He touched the glass between the two
[00:23.280]As if to shake his hand
[00:25.330]
[00:26.330]The boy, he didn't budge
[00:28.730]
[00:29.480]Not even so much as a blink.
[00:31.910]
[00:33.140]The man said Oh come on, boy
[00:35.070]
[00:35.700]Better late than never, don't you think?
[00:39.250]He said I read it in the paper,
[00:42.380]Can't believe your twenty-one.
[00:44.840]
[00:45.900]And I can't believe some son of mine
[00:49.080]Could do the things I hear you've done.
[00:52.700]He went on like some big hero
[00:54.820]
[00:55.820]Who flew in to save the day.
[00:58.130]
[00:58.940]And the boy said If you're here
[01:01.930]To steer me right, man, it's too late.
[01:05.130]You had to be there
[01:07.350]
[01:09.100]And I'm talking from day one.
[01:11.340]
[01:12.340]That's the only time a man
[01:14.490]Should talk through glass to his new son
[01:18.300]And you'd have to go back
[01:20.820]
[01:21.940]And teach me how when I was nine
[01:24.750]
[01:25.450]Cause my momma couldn't throw a ball
[01:28.870]Even if she had the time.
[01:31.550]But I should been learning how to fish
[01:34.300]
[01:35.120]Instead of learning how to smoke.
[01:38.440]I bet if you'd whooped my tail
[01:41.380]
[01:42.150]I'd never thought it was a joke.
[01:45.010]He said sometimes the will for doing wrong
[01:48.820]Is way too strong for any momma's prayers.
[01:53.570]
[01:57.930]You had to be there.
[02:00.240]
[02:05.170]The man said Boy I'm sorry
[02:08.290]That you hate me like you do.
[02:10.470]
[02:11.540]The boy said Dry it up man.
[02:14.720]We ain't making this 'bout you.
[02:18.040]It's 'bout a teenage girl against the world
[02:21.240]Who was left there high and dry.
[02:23.550]
[02:24.640]About a kid who might have stood .
[02:26.260]
[02:27.510]A whole lot better shot at life.
[02:30.690]But you had to be there
[02:33.090]
[02:34.340]And I'm talking from day one.
[02:37.020]
[02:37.840]That's the only time a man

[02:55.240]Even if she had the time.
[02:57.860]I should been learning how to fish

[03:01.550]Instead of learning how to smoke.
[03:04.040]

[03:24.170]You had to be there.
[03:26.540]
[03:38.040]The boy stood up, hung phone up the
[03:40.510]He said They say I'm out of time.
[03:43.260]
[03:44.250]And it hit the man, right then and there
[03:47.440]
[03:48.380]My God, son, so am I.
