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
