Song Description

Didn't appreciate my parents until I got older

Lyrics

LIVING IN THE SHADE

A few years back when I was just a kid
I never realized all the things my daddy did
The hard work and the sacrifice he made
He was takin? all the heat while I was LIVING IN THE SHADE

I watched my mama cooking at the stove
I could see that she was tired didn?t realized the heavy load she was carryin?
With all the bills they had to pay
She was feeling all the heat while I was LIVING IN THE SHADE

When I left home I knew it all
I was free and I free falled
And I got burned when I thought I had it made
But what?s this boy to know only hard knocks and the hard way

[instrumental break]

Throughout the years I?ve come back home again
And every time we laugh as we reminisce
Out by that oak tree where I used to play
And I remember when I was LIVING IN THE SHADE

Yeah we?ll sit and talk and drink some lemonade
And I?m right there back when
I can see myself again
LIVING IN THE SHADE
