[00:00.00]The Almost Man - Allan Taylor/Ian Melrose/Hrolfur Vagnsson/Hans-Joerg Maucksch
[00:25.43]As my father lay dying I was holding his hand
[00:33.26]He said
[00:34.66]Someday there's one thing you must understand
[00:42.13]All my life I've been an almost man
[00:49.92]Don't make the same mistake as me
[00:54.46]Cause I've never got to drive a real fast car
[01:00.22]Nor get crazy drunk in a downtown bar
[01:06.46]And I've never even got to go that far
[01:13.05]There was so much I wanted to see
[01:21.88]When he made it back from that terrible war
[01:29.05]Things would going to be
[01:30.31]Different from they'd been before
[01:34.73]'Cause he had a family and a love to live forward
[01:40.45]He got a job and he settled down
[01:47.33]He worked real hard to keep the family tight
[01:53.08]Every day he did what he thought was right
[01:59.64]But he never got ahead and tried as he might
[02:05.80]He was always just breaking even
[02:15.11]And before in your hand it was all too late
[02:20.96]His time had passed and time can't wait
[02:27.16]There're some things in life that you just can't beat
[02:33.45]It's a fight you're never gonna win
[02:39.25]When he died his ashes were sent through the post
[02:45.75]And I thought about what he would have wanted the most
[02:51.61]So I went and bought that real fast car
[02:55.43]And I damned the curse
[02:57.15]Then I struck to meet him we hit the highway
[03:07.97]Hey old man now you know how it feels
[03:14.37]Isn't she just the greatest set of wheels
[03:19.61]She is a bright red beauty of cool polish deal
[03:25.52]We're gonna turn some heads today
[03:32.06]We drove like the wind down to London town
[03:37.79]We got crazy drunk and started falling down
[03:44.19]When a new day broke and we came around
[03:49.71]I took him down to look at the sea
[03:59.89]We stood on Brighton Beach where it all began
[04:05.50]Where my father's son became a man
[04:11.92]And I said to him now you can understand
[04:18.23]What you have meant to me
[04:24.36]'Cause I got you that ride in a real fast car
[04:30.14]We got crazy drunk in a downtown bar
[04:36.74]And we made it together and we've come this far
[04:42.91]And I did it all for you
[04:50.94]So I will take that ride well it's given for free
[04:59.65]I will be the man he always wanted to be
[05:08.74]And if somehow he is looking down on me
[05:14.83]I know he will smile and say you did it well
[05:21.36]Let's take that drive in a real fast car
[05:26.99]Let's get crazy drunk in every downtown bar
[05:33.57]Let's get on the road and follow that golden star
[05:39.36]Take it all the way to the end
[05:45.99]Let's get on the road and follow that golden star
[05:51.99]Take it all the way to the end
