Danny had his daddy's blood from the start From very early on you couldn't tell them apart He was his father's son so for all it was worth He'd follow in his footsteps from the day of his birth He was his father's son Danny's mother had constant fear in her eyes While Danny lie awake he could her cries The thumps of a fist, the cracks of a belt She surely deserved what his daddy dealt He was his father's son On the night that Danny's dad went too far He stood at the bedside while she left for the stars She gulped her last breath, would never return Daddy smiled and said she just wouldn't learn Go be your father's son On the day that Danny's dad died alone His wife wore shades to hide her own Danny cried at the grave while his wife stood in fear She knew what would come as this night drew near He'd be his father's son Danny a boy of his very own He tried to raise the boy to be his clone Be what his daddy was and what Danny become But Billy wouldn't take to what his father was He's not his father's son On a drunken night Danny went at his wife It was clear to Billy that he wanted her life Billy intervened to Danny's surprise I thought I raised a man, now step aside And be your father's son Billy and his mother got their stories straight When the cops arrived it was much too late The trail transcripts recorded that day He's not his father's son is all they would say He's not his father's son
