Bilingual
When I was young I stayed out late
Raising hell across the state
Parents thought I might get caught
I'd never last my teens
Met some cops and had some scrapes
Learned the ropes and made mistakes
My parents spared the lion's share
Of adolescent schemes
I wasn't smart but I wised up soon enough
I got my start and got sized up soon enough
The folly of my youth was through soon enough
Experience and wisdom grew soon, soon, soon enough
ย
Defying them prepared me well
Missed lots of school, but what the hell
When trouble came they knew the game
Confronting me as one
Don't fret about that boy of yours
He goes to church and does his chores
A little wrong will make him strong
Your problem's not your son
He isn't lost, he'll be gone soon enough
Who daddy crossed will be a man soon enough
Put down the phone, he'll be back home soon enough
You've got to learn he shall return soon, soon, soon enough
ย
I'm all dressed up nowhere to go
But there's a lot that you don't know
A fool at forty turns out shortly foolish all his life
There's more in life that you can lose
You ought to think, you need to choose
These things cascade, don't let love fade
Try cherishing your wife
She's still at home but she'll be gone soon enough
You come back home and she'll be gone soon enough
She'll come across detached and strained soon enough
She'll find the strength to make a change soon, soon, soon enough
ย
I can't find my dear life's love
An angel sent from up above
I miss her so, where did she go?
How can you say I'm wrong?
Clarity starts at home you know
Keep love clear and it will grow
Let her come in, her affection's been
Ignored for way too long
God forbid you'll find the kid soon enough
Don't be naรฏve, your love might leave soon enough
It's a fact, I hope you'll act soon enough
Won't be polite, you'll see I'm right soon, soon, soon enough
