Banbury

I watched the sunset in my dad's old neighborhood
I drove past the old house where he was raised real good
I drove on the roads he drove on when he was my age
And the sun set silently on the earth's stage
The sky turned dark and the stars started to show
So I sat on my moms car and enjoyed the spaceshow
And as the streetlights reacted to the fading day
That's when I swore I could hear my dad say
Son everyone grows up and everybody dies
Someday this will all be gone and we wont be alive
Son it's happening to me and it's happening to you too
One day I was your age and the next thing I knew
I got a degree and I found a career
I met your mother and we made our way back here
I retired from my job and your sister was born
And I lost control of my leg due to my faulty spinal cord
But your grandfather told me you got to live with what you get
And that life's not something for you to resent
Son you have to try your hardest to be content
And you're not really living if you're living in regret
