For As Long As I Can Remember

For as long as I can remember The sun wasn't up before Dad He's always taken coffee black And Monday mornin' strong For as long as I can remember There's been a bottle up on the fridge Kitchen table's where his Bible sits Where they both belong Some things will always be a certain way Just like him, I wanna be the kinda man the wind can't change I'll be my father's son 'til I wake up on the other side of forever It's all I ever wanted to be, for as long as I can remember Mm For as long as I can remember It's been me and my brother You got one, you got the other And that was that And just like any other brothers We had our fair share of fights But even when we don't see eye to eye We got each other's backs Some things will always be a certain way And just like him, I wanna be the kinda man the wind can't change I'll be my father's son, and when he needs me, I'll be my brother's keeper 'Cause he's been that for me, for as long as I can remember Sometimes I cuss like him, and I catch myself standin' like him When I get mad, I get quiet like him Like my brother, my dad, and his dad before him Some things will always be a certain way Just like them, I wanna be the kinda man the wind can't change From now 'til Kingdom come, when we catch up on the other side of forever That's how it's always gonna be, that's how I'm always gonna be For as long as I can remember Ooh-ooh For as long as I can remember Ooh-ooh
