THE NIGHT I CALLED THE OLD MAN OUT By. Pat Alger, Kim Williams and Garth Brooks Album IN PIECES

1

Verse

The dining room fell silent I can't believe what I just said I just told my dad he's full of it And I watched his face turn red Well, then I should've said, "I'm sorry" But I matched him shout for shout I can still hear that screen door slammin' The night I called him out

1 1

Chorus

He said, "Son, it's gonna hurt me more than it hurts you"

1

But somehow I couldn't help but have my doubts

1

'Cause I'd seen my older brothers crawl back in the house

- -Hold- - 1

Each time they called the old man out

PLAY INTRO

Verse

Fist to fist and eye to eye Standin' toe to toe He would've let me walk away But I just would not let it go Years of my frustration Had lead me to this night Now he'll pay for all the times that he's been right

Chorus

Bridge

It was over in a minute

That's when I realized

The blood came from my mouth and nose

But the tears came from my eyes

And in a memory of that fateful night

I know the greatest pain was his

And I just pray some day I'm half the man he is

Chorus

Just like my older brothers Crawled back in the house
