Based on a recurring dream about my dad who passed away back in 1985. My dad played harmonica with me on guitar..old time military songs like anchors away and the Caissons Go Rolling Along.

lyrics

Fooled Again © 2013

I was back on the farm
It was a sunny day
I was sitting on the back porch
Strumming away
A memory so clear
Like it happened today
My dad came out
And began to play

Chorus
It's a dream I have
Now and then
Me and my dad
Playing songs again
But when I wake, I know
I've been fooled again

We'd play a while
Then we’d talk a bit
How's the weather
The wife and kids
Just another laid-back
Summer's day
Nothing but time
Coming our way
*Chorus

Bridge
But in that time, I'm home again
I'm with you, one more time again
It seems so real, then it all sinks in
But I don't mind..being fooled again

What I remember most
Were his gentle ways
How when he spoke
He had something to say
And the way he was made me who I am
My only hope is I'm half that man
*Chorus
*Bridge
*Chorus
But I don't mind....
