C majorC
When I was younger
FF
My daddy told me I would never
C majorC
Never amount to nothing special
FF
He'd come at me from every angle
C majorC
He'd say, "You're the last thing I wanted, the last thing I need
FF
How am I gonna answer when my friends tell me
A minorAm G+G FF C majorC
My son was kissing boys in the street
A minorAm G+G C majorC
My son was kissing boys in the street"
C majorC
He tried to change me
FF
Said I'm embarrassing my country
C majorC
How could I do this to my family
FF
Do I wanna grow up being lonely
C majorC
He'd say, "We've worked for our money, we've put you in school
FF
Is this how you repay us? Do you think this is cool?
A minorAm G+G FF C majorC
My son, stop kissing boys in the street
A minorAm G+G C majorC
My son, stop kissing boys in the street"
C majorC FF C majorC FF
C majorC
Now that I'm older
FF
My daddy's heart's a little warmer
C majorC
But he still won't hold me like my brother
FF
And he still won't kiss me like my mother
C majorC
He said, "You're a part of this family, I made you myself
FF
But the way that you act isn't good for your health
A minorAm G+G FF C majorC
My son, stop kissing boys in the street
A minorAm G+G C majorC
My son, stop kissing boys in the street"
C majorC FF A minorAm G+G
Oooooooo
C majorC FF A minorAm G+G
Ohhhhhhh
C majorC
My daddy's dying
FF
And he's finally realized I'm not lying
C majorC
We sit in silence but we're smiling
FF
Because for once we are not fighting
C majorC
He said, "There was no way of knowing 'cause all I was taught
FF
Is men only love women, but now I'm not sure
A minorAm G+G FF C majorC
My son, keep kissing boys in the street
A minorAm G+G FF C majorC
My son, keep kissing boys in the street
A minorAm G+G C majorC
When I'm gone, keep kissing boys in the street"
