good rats - for the sake of anyone lyrics

[intro]
this picture i’m showing you
is a picture of my old man
it’s the most important thing i own
he was a good father to me
even though he was dirt poor
and i watched that man work so hard and so long
with never a day to himself or even a decent shirt to wear
but for all that i never once heard him complain
his whole life was my mother
but he could never satisfy her
she took and took until he had no more to give
and i watched that man grow tired and old at forty+five

[verse 1]
on the day my daddy died
i swore never to deny
myself of anything
for the sake of anyone
gotta look out for myself
there’s just me, n0body else
and i’ll never lend a hand
for the sake of anyone

[chorus]
he’d just give, give, give
that’s all he ever did, give, give
and all he ever got
were abuses, they never stop
[verse 2]
he provided everything
yeah, for mother there were rings
and i heard him tell her, “dear
you’re so very good to me”
but then papa found the truth
all about his lovely wife
and he took it with a smile
and then he took a life

[chorus]
he’d just give, give, give
that’s all he ever did, give, give
and all he ever got
were abuses, they never stop

[bridge]
ah, ah
ah, ah
get out!
get out!
get out!
get out!
get out!

[outro]
i’m leaving this place
but i’m coming home
and with success in my pockets
i’m gonna walk up to that big white house
and i know she’ll be glad to see me
and she’ll throw her arms around me
and she’ll hug me and she’ll kiss me
and she’ll be crying
get away!
