One Idiot Away

One idiot
One idiot away
You were only one idiot
One idiot away
She weighed six pounds when she was born
And you did all that you could
You drove her to tap and piano recitals
That really weren’t any good
You saved up for her college fund
You basically broke your back
Then she chunks it all for some boggin' head
Who’s probably selling crack
And you were
One idiot
One idiot away
You were only one idiot
One idiot away
Your son was an All American
In tennis and basketball
He had recruiters droolin' all over themselves
Cause that boy had it all
You done told your boss where he could go
Cause the kid’s gonna be a star
Then his buddy shoots two in a 7−11
And guess who’s in the car
And you were
One idiot
One idiot away
You were only one idiot
One idiot away
One idiot
One idiot away
You were only one idiot
One idiot away
