Lyrics
AS MY BLOOD FLOWS
2001 MJ LONG
9 February, 2001
MY DAD WAS A GALLANT MAN.
AS I THINK BACK ON HIM
HE NEVER SHED ANY TEARS AT ALL
CAUSE I REMEMBER BACK WHEN
EVEN ON HIS LAST BEDRIDDEN DAYS
I SAW THE STRENGH IN HIS EYES?
HE KNEW HOW I WAS FEELIN? SAD
AND I DIDN?T WANT TO SAY GOODBYE
AS LONG AS MY BLOOD FLOWS
HE?LL ALWAYS BE A PART OF ME
AND THE STORIES THAT HE TOLD
WILL LIVE ON THROUGH OUR FAMILY TREE
HE WAS SOMEONE I BELIEVED IN
LORD, HE WAS MY BEST FRIEND
AND EVEN THOUGH HE HAD TO GO
I FEEL HIM?AS MY BLOOD FLOWS?
HE?D TAKE ME ON LONG FISHIN? TRIPS.
SHOWED ME HOW TO BAIT THE HOOK.
I?D PULL THE ROPES AS HE PITCHED THE TENT?
HE TAUGHT ME HOW TO CAMP AND COOK
THOSE MEMORIES ARE ETCHED IN MY MIND
LIKE THE LINES ON THE PALM OF MY HAND?
I KNOW HE?S WATCHIN? OVER ME.
CAUSE HE?S JUST THAT KIND OF MAN?
CHORUS:
BRIDGE:
BRIEF INSTRUMENTAL:
OHHHHH OH?HIS BLOOD FLOWS THROUGH ME EVERYDAY?
OHHHHHHH OH?I?LL SEE HIM AGAIN SOMEDAY?
CHORUS:
YEAH?AS MY BLOOD FLOWS?YEAH?AS MY BLOOD FLOWS
AS MY BLOOD FLOWS?
