Alden Olmsted - "Dad, wherever you are" Live at the Holbrooke Hotel - Grass Valley, CA

Lyrics:
Dad, wherever you are
If you could only see me now
You know I can't complain,
cause I know you overcame - growing up a rich kid in LA

Dad I've been driving your car
Dad I've been cleaning out the house
I vacuumed up the ants
I kicked out all the mice
and the fox bones are cool - but they gotta go

Dad I don't know if you got the news
Remember that guy you voted for
Well he made a change or two,
and I didn't know what to do,
So I'm - asking for a dollar from each of you!

Bridge:
I remember growing up - alone
Some days maybe you'd show up
or maybe no
But I found you by the river that day
and that you regretted your mistakes and
after all - that you were pretty cool

Dad, you left a legacy
With no instructions for me
Just put one foot out front
Breathe in deep and smile
See the horizon? That's where we're going

Dad, wherever you are
If you could only see me now
You know I can't complain
Cause I know you overcame
And I know - you'd have done the same
