Dad’s Advice to Young James

I’ve done a little of everything But I ain’t done much of anything Two steps forward, two steps back Never really leaving here And that’s okay, cause here you are My son, you’re all I need But listen boy to your old man Who’s seen a thing or two Put all your steps in one direction And your dreams will come to you If you love space and building things Then build the things we’ll need in space Learn your math and work real hard Get that degree and go to the stars There’s nothing stopping you my boy From walking down this path They’re building rockets down the road So two steps forward, no steps back.
