Brooks Garth The Night I Called The Old Man Out lyrics

(Jenny Yates, Garth Brooks)

The dining room fell silent
I can`t believe what I just said
I just told my dad he`s full of it
And I watched his face turn red
And I should`ve said, `I`m sorry`
But I matched him shout for shout
I can still hear that screen door slammin`
The night I called him out

He said, `Son it`s gonna hurt me more than it hurts
you`
But somehow I couldn`t help but have my doubts
`Cause I`d seen my own dear brothers crawl back in
the house
Each time they called the old man out

Fist to fist and eye to eye
Standin` toe to toe
He would`ve let me walk away
But I just would not let it go
Years of my frustration
Had let me to this night
Now he`ll pay for all the times that he`s been right

He said, `Son it`s gonna hurt me more than it hurts
you`
But somehow I couldn`t help but have my doubts
`Cause I`d seen my own dear brothers crawl back in
the house
Each time they called the old man out

It was over in a minute
That`s when I realized
The blood came from my mouth and nose
But the tears came from his eyes
And in memory of that fateful night
I know the greatest pain was his
And I just pray some day I`m half the man he is

He said, `Son it`s gonna hurt me more than it hurts
you`
But somehow I couldn`t help but have my doubts
`Cause I`d seen my own dear brothers crawl back in
the house
Each time they called the old man out

Just like my own dear brothers
I crawled back in the house
The night I called the old man out
