Father & Son lyrics by Indigo Girls

Its not time to make a change
Just relax and take it easy
Youre still young thats your fault
Theres so much you have to know
Find a girl and settle down
If you want well you can marry
Look at me I am old but Im happy

I was once like you are now
And I know that its not easy
To be calm when youve found
Something going on
Take your time think a lot
Think of everything youve got
You will still be here tomorrow
But your dreams may not

How can I try to explain
When I do he turns away again
And its always been the same
Same old story
From the moment I could talk
I was ordered to listen
Now theres a way and I know
That I have to go away
I know I have to go

Its not time to make a change
(wait, wait)
Just sit down and take it slowly
(wait)
Youre still young thats your fault
(I have to go)
Theres so much you have to go through
(and make this decision)
Find a girl settle down
(I know)
If you want well you can marry
(know)
Look at me I am old but Im happy

All the times that I cried
(stay, stay)
Keeping all the things I knew inside
(stay)
Well its hard but its harder to ignore it
(why must you go)
If they were right Id agree
(make these decisions)
But its them they know not me
(I know)
Now theres a way and I know
That I have to go away
I know I have to go
