I know my enemy and I can't forget his name, 
Distant memories of a man that just couldn't change, 
And though I've tried to set aside, 
I still carry them today
When I look into the mirror I can still see his face, 
Oh Lord

Don't want to be like my father, 
I deserved a better man, 
A bigger man to help me down my road
I cried a tear for my mother, 
She deserved a better man, 
A stronger man, 
To embrace her soul
Ruined by a weaker man, 
A shallow man, 
The one who broke our home

Though I was a young boy I can still remember everything, 
All the booze led to fights and abuse
And I lived through it every day
And though I try, 
To heal inside, 
My heart is just a vault for pain, 
I tried to snuff the candle, 
But I've been burnt by the flame, 
It's too late

Don't want to be like my father, 
I deserved a better man, 
A bigger man to help me down my road
I cried a tear for of my mother, 
She deserved a better man, 
A stronger man, 
To embrace her soul
Ruined by a weaker man, 
A shallow man, 
The one who broke our home

Saw him twenty years later in a store buyin' a jug of wine
He said "hey there boy I'm living nearby
We could catch up with a joint and share a bottle or two"
I said "I'm sorry dad, don't wanna end up being you, no"

Don't want to be like my father, no
I cried a tear for my mother, 
She deserved a better man, 
A stronger man, 
To embrace her soul
Ruined by a weaker man, 
A shallow man, 
The one who broke our home

Hellyeah

Hellyeah is an American heavy metal group, consisting of Mudvayne lead vocalist Chad Gray and guitarist Greg Tribbett, Nothingface guitarist Tom Maxwell, Damageplan bassist Bob Zilla, and former Pantera and Damageplan drummer Vinnie Paul. The idea to form a supergroup originated in 2001 on the Tattoo the Earth tour, although plans were constantly put on hold due to scheduling conflicts. The summer of 2006 allowed the band to take the project seriously and record its first album. Recorded at Chasin' Jason studio in Dimebag Darrell's backyard, a self-titled album was completed in roughly one month. Released on April 10, 2007, the album entered the Billboard 200 at number 9, selling 45,000 copies. Allmusic reviewer William Ruhlmann stated the album is "a compete… more »
