Turning The Shoulder
lyrics and music by Sawyer Fredericks
Crying on my Saturday
Cause my back is up against the wall
Guess it’s one of my better days
No, at least I did not hit the floor
I looked away
He was turning the shoulder
My mother’s sayin’
Just remember what he told you
Fight your wars
He will not fight yours
Well she said
Oh, your daddy is a great man
But he will not fight for you
Oh, his battles are the ones he can win
Not the ones he wants to
Pull me out into the crowd
Cause you think I should be more like them
I don’t wanna let you down no
But I don’t think that you quite understand
I looked away
He was turning the shoulder
My mother’s ashamed
Of the life I have chosen
I fight my wars
They won’t fight for
She said Oh, our family has a great name
But it will not stay with you
And I looked away
He was turning the shoulder
My mother’s sayin’
Just remember what he told you
Fight your wars
He will not fight yours
Well she said
Oh, your daddy is a great man
But he will not fight for you
