My father was an artist He was Johnny Cash He was Elvis Every photo of him was Black and white And I'd cry at night God how much I missed him My mother took me to mountains Where she'd hold my hand and Tell me to sing as loud as I can My father gave me my Martin My Art and Lutherie And before I knew chords I strummed that guitar Hoping somehow he'd hear me I owe them everything Every bone in my body Because of them I hear symphonies
