lyrics

He always says 'son be kind'
And to always give your thanks
He says put your best foot forward
He's the example of it all

I get my cool and my smile from him
So very close to our kin
Music is the gift he passed to me
Hailing from old Mexico

As he ages he still advises
Answering all my questions of late
'Son don't you lie to yourself'
'And don't you leave no babies behind"

I get my cool and my smile from him
So very close with our kin
Music is the gift he passed to me
Hailing from old Mexico

Sweet Chollie, Shorty, Slim
I know him best as my dad

Winston his namesake knew his momma
The best salmon patties in the world
CG is what he calls me
He's such a great man

I get my cool and my smile from him
So very close to our kin
Music is the gift he passed me
Hailing from old Mexico
