You better sit down kids, I'll tell you why, kids
You might not understand, kids, But give it a try, kids
Now how should I put this, I've got something to say
Your mama is staying, But I'm goin' away
No, we're not mad, kids, And it's hard to say why
Your mother and I, kids, Don't see eye to eye
Say your prayers before you go to bed
Make sure you get yourself to school on time
I know you'll do the things your mother asks
She's gonna need you most to stay in line
Keep in mind your mama's gonna need
Your help a whole lot more than she ever did before
No more fightin' over little things 'cause
I won't be here to stop them anymore
I know you don't want this, But neither do we
But sometimes things happen, That we can't foresee
So try to be calm, kids, And don't look so sad
Just cause I am leavin', I'll still be your dad
But just remember I love you, And though I'm not here
Just call if you need me, I'll always be near
Say your prayers before you go to bed
Make sure you get yourself to school on time
I know you'll do the things your mother asks
She's gonna need you most to stay in line
Keep in mind your mother's gonna need
Your help a whole lot more than she ever did before
No more fightin' over little things 'cause
I won't be here to stop them anymore
Well, I have to go now, So kiss me goodbye
My eyes are just red, kids, I'm too big to cry

Glen Travis Campbell (1936-2017) è stato un cantante, chitarrista, paroliere e attore statunitense considerato uno dei più grandi artisti del country music. Iniziò la sua carriera negli anni cinquanta come session man per diversi artisti di Nashville, prima di emergere come solista con il suo album d'esordio "Glen Campbell" nel 1962. Campbell ha raggiunto il successo internazionale negli anni sessanta e settanta con successi come "Rhinestone Cowboy", "Wichita Lineman" e "Gentle on My Mind". Il suo stile musicale era caratterizzato da una voce calda e melodiosa, un'eccellente tecnica chitarristica e la capacità di interpretare canzoni country, pop e folk con grande sensibilità. Oltre alla musica, Campbell ha recitato in diversi film e programmi televisivi, dimostrando un talento versatile che lo ha reso una figura iconica del panorama musicale americano.

Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
