The Night I Called the Old Man Out Lyrics

INTRO: F#m
Verse:
The dining room fell silent
I can't believe what I just said
I just told my dad he's full of it
And I watched his face turn red
Well, then I should've said, "I'm sorry"
But I matched him shout for shout
I can still hear that screen door slammin'
The night I called him out
--4^------4^--r(4)-2-- ---------------1------------------------------------
Chorus:
He said, "Son, it's gonna hurt me more than it hurts you"
But somehow I couldn't help but have my doubts
'Cause I'd seen my older brothers crawl back in the house
- -Hold- -
Each time they called the old man out
PLAY INTRO
Verse:
Fist to fist and eye to eye
Standin' toe to toe
He would've let me walk away
But I just would not let it go
Years of my frustration
Had lead me to this night
Now he'll pay for all the times that he's been right
Chorus:
Bridge:
It was over in a minute
That's when I realized
The blood came from my mouth and nose
But the tears came from my eyes
And in a memory of that fateful night
I know the greatest pain was his
And I just pray some day I'm half the man he is
Chorus:
Just like my older brothers
crawled back in the house
--12^----r(12)-------------------------------------------------------------
The night I called the old man out
