I rehearsed today down in [?] With a bunch of singers And a string section, too Came home in the afternoon, sunk into my chair Took in the sun, thinking about what a friend said About [?] was more important than the shoe The doors all started buzzing Caroline went downstairs, and a crackhead fled Two FedEx packages were ripped to shreds She filed a report and I called the building manager And let her know, and the next morning A neighbor came over And we talked it over We went to bed Turned on CNN In South Carolina Nine [?] shot dead The killer looks like a little boy And not a man, so tonight I can't address nothing else that's happening Friday was the show With Chuck and Steph Last night was a fight with Andre Ward And an overweight Paul Smith A piece of Smith's face went flying SongtexteIn the ninth round The ref stepped in, and the noise from the crowd Was so intense, cause Steph Curry was in the house And today is Father's Day Called my dad And he sounded okay Told him I was recording But that on Wednesday Gonna go pull fish from the ocean, have a cookout With Caroline in a brand new kitchen Oh, today is Father's Day Just talked with my dad And he's doing okay And his girlfriend went to [?] [?] he's eighty-one He's a simple man and full of love And I miss him a bunch Oh, today is Father's Day Called my dad, and I'm so happy That I can say That after years of struggle He's one of my best friends No matter what his faults I will always love that man And it's Tuesday And I'm dueting with Rachel She's penned down, and so is Neil, and so is Justin Maybe they're on to something What is next?
