A Promise To Distinction
INTRO
C D G C D G C G
G
Once I was younger than
C G
The youngest of fragile minds
C
I ate the day with bad manners
G
Then spit out the rind
Em G
And mother, mother told me
Em D
As I looked to the sky
Em G C D
Yes my mother told me, "my dear son,
G
You're not the one"
G C G
I flew home when I was just 21
C G
Young enough to be the father of someone
C G
I've got a conch pissed with conch republic rum
My father by my side, teary-eyed, he said:
Em G C D
"Son, by God, what I could have done,
Em G
And you're just like me
C D
You can, really put 'em down
C D G
If I was in your place, I'd stay, have fun"
C D G
But I'm not the one
G C
Now I'm sittin' here
G
Haggling over sums
C
Money made by someone else
G C
To me, it don't belong
G C
I toss a smile to the mighty boss
G C
He's my God
G C
But I'm a bit backwards
G C
And I know he's just a fuckin' dog
Em G
And mother, mother told me,
Em D
As I looked to the sky
Em G C D
Yes my mother told me my dear son
G C
"You're not the one"
G C
"you're not the one"
G C
You're not the one"
G C
You're not the one"
