The Lyrics for My Orphan Year by NOFX.


My father had dementia
He lied in bed for months
Once in a while he'd call me
And ask me to fly down
I told him that "I'd love to"
But I had things to do
And so, he died without his son
I heard about it drunk after a show

My mother battled cancer
For over seven years
I nursed her and I held her
When time was running out
The night before she left me
I drank scotch all night and thanked her for everything she'd done
Raising me alone wasn't much fun

So dad I can forgive you, but I'll never forget
The months I wouldn't see you and when I did
You'd be out with your friends all night
Alone and only nine
I watch The Outer Limits
While scared out of my mind
I wondered if you felt the same
The days before you died
I wondered if you even knew
Why I wouldn't come around
I bet if you had been there,
There wouldn't be this song

2006 goodbye parents
For once sincere
2006 my orphan year
