	Story Behind the Song My dad is dying and has disowned his kids at age 81. He was a VA WW2 vet who abuses his prescription drugs. Yet, this song could be about anyone's Dad missing in action through childhood. Lyrics Oh, so strong, so tall, so self-assured Tiny girl, so small so insecure Long ago I worshipped every word Now I miss the man you never were the man you never.... Businessman and Mama's beau so true Tiny pills of yellow, green and blue Took your soul as do the demon's cure How I miss the man you never were the man you never were...... Is it worth the loss? Can you bear the cost? Can you write me off 'cause I was never who you wanted me to be? Never there when you were there for me... I never thought I'd ever live to see you turn away.... When I pray, I sometimes say your name Wonder if we'll ever meet again As you fade into the autumn blur I will miss the man you never were the man you never were the man you never were
