70s Love Songs - Harry Nilsson Without You Lyrics

When you saw your dad shoot up for the first time
It must’ve came as quite a shock
You sat numb in your room for hours
Ignoring the afternoon’s drop-offs
You picture him, arms outstretched in a song
After Sunday school let out
He’d drive the family home
And you’d talk about Jesus
But 15 years can change a man
Alone in this wilderness
Say, keep your head up, if you’re not okay
But not okay is what’s expected
They claim you’re a hero
If you can make it off the couch
You know the truth in what they say
The world’s gonna kick you either way
But now you’re stuck in this routine
Just trying to make something on your own
Your older brother fled the country
The cops are coming 'round your home
But Kaylee has a baby on the way
They’re not gonna leave her a single mother
The dope was legal
But they roughed you up for selling on the side
But 20 years will change a man
10 with behavior is what you’re looking at
Just keep your head down and you’ll be okay
You’re living up to what’s expected
They’ll claim you’re nothing
When you’re walking out the door
You know the truth in what they say
The world’s gonna kick you either way
And mom won’t even come around most days
Pop your prescription and you put on a brave face
Zone out to the local AM station
Try not to think about next month’s visitation
Saw you last week we haven’t talked since graduation
You’re moving H with a guy to catch up
But it’s clear you’re using
I didn’t have the guts to be a better friend
But what’s another ten grand gonna fix in the end?
Say, keep your head up, if you’re not okay
But not okay is what’s expected
They claim you’re a hero
But you died there on the couch
You knew the truth in what they say
The world’s gonna kick you either way
