There's a -holdin'
on blocks in the back yard
My little boy plays at the wheel
And his daddy never got
around to fixin' that car
Lord, don't I know how
that old girl feels
There's a pile of old books in our garage
On how to be and how to do
And they're sittin' where he left
them when it got too hard
And I guess I am too
He never sees anything through
All the grand ideas and
the plans he makes
They're just things he'll never do
And of all the big time dreams he's had
I'm the one forgotten fool
He never sees anything
through
There's a package that
arrived at the front door
Heaven knows what it could be
And he probably doesn't
even want it anymore
That's not hard to believe
Somewhere in the world
he's a brand new man
With a brand new list of things to do
And another woman who's
about to understand
Why he'll never be a dream come true
He never sees anything through
All the grand ideas and
the plans he makes
They're just things he'll never do
And of all the big time
dreams he's had
I'm the one forgotten fool
He never sees anything
through
Everybody tells me my life has just begun
And I will spend the rest of my
days getting things done
He never sees anything through
All the grand ideas and
the plans he makes
They're just things he'll never do
And of all the big time dreams he's had
I'm one forgotten fool
He never sees anything through
He never sees anything
through
There's a holdin' on
blocks in the backyard
My little boy plays at the wheel
