	Story Behind the Song The child gives way to the man when he marries and his father fades behind him (even while that father's shadow looms sure and larger with every passing year). Lyrics [chorus:] Dad, you awake? I-- I got this feeling, there ain't no more to come. I got this feeling, the day is finally done. Now, dad, I got words for you. And you've got to listen to me. All my life you've give me what for, And now it's my turn, don't you see? Your life is ending; my son's just begun. [chorus] Yeah, that's right, dad, a son. That's what she give me--Loretta. She give me a son like mom gave you one, But don't say a word; that's the woman I love. I really do, dad, I love Loretta. [chorus] Now, dad, this may be your dying day. Doctors won't tell me, but it looks that way. You give me your world, dad. And for that I love you. I really do, daddy, I do. [chorus] Now, dad, this may be your dying day. Doctors won't tell me, but it looks that way. You give me your world, dad. And for that I hate you. I really do, daddy, I do. Dad, you awake, I-- Oh f***, he's dead!
