My dress shoes on
The well kept cemetery lawn
Both of them weeping
Their one good son now was goneThe irony to see my dad
Down on his knees
Crying out to Jesus
"But Lord I've always done what's right"And all the while the good Lord smiled
And looked the other way
And looked the other wayWhen we were kids
I did my best to make them proud
It just wasn't in me
I could not fly straight to save my lifeAnd all the while the good Lord smiled
And looked the other way
And looked the other wayTheir big success is now their biggest failure
Their golden child has been dethroned
Their reputation is now in ruins
Their tower to heaven has come tumbling downAnd all the while the good Lord smiles
And looks the other way
And looks the other way
