My Old Man

[ Tommy’s father suddenly dies during his own wedding reception, and Tommy has to reconsider his future at the company now without his father at his side. He decides to do his best to fill his dad’s shoes. ] The storm rolled away on my old man’s wedding day He smiled and straightened my tie It was the last day of his life As the band began to play, I was floating away But with his heart’s final pound Felt my two feet on the ground Now I’m lost again Sandusky called to me to come back home Can’t shake the only fate I’ve ever know Joy and pride working side by side Now I’m the only one Now I need to be alone On the sand, skipping stones Simple things set me free On the shores of Lake Erie And the storm’s kept at bay So it’s anchors aweigh I would take to the seas If I only had a breeze I could sail away Sandusky, I don’t want to be alone Can’t shake the only fate I’ve ever known If this town needs to turn around Guess I’m the only one
