MORE RUST THAN PAINT A family man, a veteran Head of the household Always impressing people With all the things you know You'd build us forts and Then teach us pool I learned to drive Sitting next to you But time is cruel and certain I could see the decline Maybe lose a word, miss a turn Some things you just can't hide There's only one road on which to go Eventually it runs downhill These days he's more rust than paint Who he was is slipping away I will try to remember the colors when you can't These days he's more rust than paint We knew something was wrong Before the doctors told us I tried to convince your sister but She thought I was making it up Each morning is different Some are up and some are down At times you feel so far away Sitting on the same couch It tests the bounds of fiction It tests the bounds of faith The ghost I see before me Has my father's name There's only one road on which to go Eventually it goes downhill These days he's more rust than paint Who he was is slowly slipping away I will try to remember the colors when you can't But these days he's more rust than paint These days he's more rust than paint Who he was is slowly slipping away I will try to remember the colors when you can't But these days he's more rust than paint Written by: Steven Gullett
