Tom Flannery Get Over It
Get over it son that was a long time agotime still
moves even when it's slow
no rearview mirror....nobody gaining on you
leave it in the drawer that's what I do
Get over it son you know it felt pretty good
made you a bigger man in the neighborhood
it's a weather beaten path that we all trod
when we're being touched by the hand of God
now I read it in the paper
see it on the news
but nobody's walking
in my shoes
30 years of water
under the bridge
you say you didn't like it
but I know you did
Get over it son you're a grown man now
kids of your own to disavow
your mother never believed it...she said you lied
and carried that with her until the day she died
Doesn't that tell you
which side you're on?
the Lord has spoken
and you got it wrong
just a silly little boy
dancing in your head
dumping your troubles
in my bed
Get over it son it's time to move on
spilt milk dries then it's bygone
that was then and then is now
don't know why but I know how
now I read it in the paper
see it on the news
but nobody's walking
in my shoes
30 years of water
under the bridge
you say you didn't like it
but I know you did
Get over it son that was a long time ago
time still moves even when it's slow
no rearview mirror....nobody gaining on you
leave it in the drawer that's what I do
