Renaissance Man

My father told us we should vote

My mother said we can always come home

If I have a son

He will be a renaissance man

And if I have a daughter she will be

In a rock and roll band

I am a mother in my head

Don’t know where or when,

But I know what I’ll say when I go to tuck them into bed

Just like my mother always did

As she said to me, girl I can’t for

You’re life to begin

My father told us we should vote

My mother said we can always come home

If I have a son

He will be a renaissance man

And if I have a daughter she will be

In a rock and roll band

My son will be just like his father

A man I haven’t met

Yet but I know he’ll sing and dance just for his daughter

He’ll be the jester for his court

He doesn't need a crown

As long as he’s got his friends and family around

My father told us we should vote

My mother said we can always come home

If I have a son

He will be a renaissance man

And if I have a daughter she will be

In a rock and roll band

Tales spin

Whispered by the wind

And I can't wait to tell them their story

Tales spin

Whispered by the wind

And I can't wait to be part of their story

My father told us we should vote

My mother said we can always come home

If I have a son

He will be a renaissance man

And if I have a daughter she will be

In a rock and roll band
