Lyrics

Domino

Billy would hide in the tree in the backyard
Whenever his father came home.
His father learned how to hit from his father,
Who learned how to hit from his own.

Now Billy is Bill, he's got a seven year-old son
And an anger always pushing him inside.
When his boy does something stupid,
And he feels like he might loose it.
He takes a breath, he pulls him close
And tells him it's alright.

CHORUS
I'm not gonna fall on you `cause someone fell on me.
`Cause each one knocked the next one down back far as I can see.
This world may topple all around us but I want you to know,
As for me, I'm not gonna be a domino. No. No. No. No.
Not another domino. No. No. No. No.

Sheryl remembers the night of the prom,
His eyes and her dress both deep green.
Prayin' her mama would stay in the kitchen,
But she stumbles out and causes a scene.

Now a single mom herself, Sheryl more than understands,
Why her mama and her grandma drowned the pain.
She sees her daughter's first year passin'
Through the bottom of a glass.
And while the tears pour down her face
She pours the bottle down the drain.

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Sometimes the truth is black and white.
And no matter what I've been through, another wrong won't make it right.
`Though it's the hardest thing I'll ever do,
I'm gonna stand for you.
I swear I will stand for you.

I'm not gonna fall on you `cause someone fell on me.
`Cause someone tried to tell me that's the way it had to be.

CHORUS
