lyrics

I once looked at the mirror and saw a broken man
who let his wife and family down in every way one can
So I smashed that mirror into angry silver, shattered stars,
Then turned away and covered up my healing battle scars.

I traveled long, I traveled far, and I have gone astray,
no closet here is big enough to put my skeletons at bay,
but suddenly, now presently, I walk the path I know,
when two little boys with their big toys needed help and so

then I said hey Bobby, lift your head,
there's still a fight to win
so buck up, idjit, put away
that scotch on ice and gin,
you've got two boys who need a hell of guidance out of you
you're their rock now, it's time to grit down hard and power through

so decades passed, I had at last two surrogated sons,
who grew up to be heroes with a trunk filled up with guns,
I ain't been any prouder of any men I'd known,
than these two kids whom god forbids, and broken every bone,

sometimes I sit down in my house and think of times gone by,
of my mistakes, it pains and aches me 'til the day I die,
but I found hallelujah in a family damned by hell,
who steal my food, is goddamn rude, but they make my heart swell,

[chorus]

Hey, Bobby, are you up there? Times here are real hard.
I'm stuck in purgatory and I've lost my guard.
It's made me think of all the times you saved my ass,
I never thanked you for that, I thought our time would last,

Bobby, I'm so alone, and once again I'm scared,
Everything went spiraling down and I was not prepared,
I guess it's time for me to grow up and solve this,
'cause you're in heaven now, and I'm stuck in the abyss

so hey, Bobby, thanks for all,
the things you did for me,
you're the best dad that I ever had,
I was too blind to see,
and show you all the gratitude you deserved in your life,
you were the best, now get your rest, and go and join your wife

(Family don't end with blood and you're all I am thinking of
Sam, you know that we can pull it through
I'll send my love and maybe curse a couple times, but it ain't the worst,
and I know that in this hunter pack, that family always comes first)

so I said hey Bobby, lift your head,
you fought the fight and won
so buck up, idjit, don't be sad,
you finally are done
you've got two boys who don't need any more guidance from you
you'll meet someday, when they're old and grey, and you'll be friends anew.

(Family don't end with blood and you're all I am thinking of
Sam, you know that we can pull it through
I'll send my love and maybe curse a couple times, but it ain't the worst,
and I know that in this hunter pack, that family always comes first)
