Rick Springfield - Like Father Like Son Lyrics
He was raised in the english wayHis daddy taught him respect, he taught him how to prayThey sent him off to boarding schoolWhere he learned how to live by someone elses ruleAnd he went to confessionHe went to confessionHoly father wash my sins awayHe went to confessionHe went to confessionMother mary take the pain awayHe read letters from home at night in his bedAnd got this uneasy feeling when his father saidFear of God and the feel of the rodWill raise a good boyThe fear of God and the feel of the rodWill raise a good boyHe bought his daddys car and he learned to driveAnd when he left school he got a nine to fiveHe met the girl and he got his spouseAnd they had the child and they got the houseAnd he went to confessionHe went to confessionHoly father wash my sins awayHe went to confessionHe went to confessionMother mary take the pain awayHe loved his son and he helped him build walls and frontsHe knew hed heard it beforeSomeone had said it onceFear of God and the feel of the rodWill raise a good boyThe fear of God and the feel of the rodWill raise a good boyHe raised his son in the english wayAnd he taught him respect, he taught him how to prayHe sent him off to boarding schoolWhere he learned how to live by someone elses rulesAnd he went to confessionHe went to confessionHoly father wash my sins awayHe went to confessionHe went to confessionMother mary take the pain awayIt must be something much deeper than fear or painAnother child learns a pattern he wont break the chainFear of God and the feel of the rodWill raise a good boyThe fear of God and the feel of the rodWill raise a good boyThe fear of God and the feel of the rodWill raise the next boy
