lyrics

Dude.
Dude, you totally nailed it.
Dude, it's really, really, really, really good.
Dude,
you built the ship and you sailed it.
And you got it safely into the harbor just like I knew that you would.
Okay sure, some other people took over, 'cause that's the hollywood way,
and almost nobody gets a solo screenwriting credit these days but man, I just gotta say that
dude,
dude, you totally nailed it,
dude, it's really, really good.

Dude,
dude, you've totally made it,
dude, you did precisely what you said you'd do.
Dude,
you set a course and you stayed it,
and your faith in yourself is exemplary, and I'm so impressed with you.
'Cause my eleven-year-old son, well he thought the movie was "totally rad."
and my son is a very judgmental reviewer of films, so you oughta be glad.
and dude,
dude, you totally made it,
I think you made your dreams come true.

and holy crap I miss you
and I miss those days when we were young and ignorant and full of shit and full of hope and joy
we were following our bliss, you
in your stories and impromptu sonnets, me all making songs and being difficult to employ
and then our paths diverged somehow with me leaping off of cliffs,
and making big mistakes that I could repent at leisure later,
while you preferred more certainty to my exhausting pile of ifs,
and you preferred to have a more reliably stocked refrigerator,
but this song is not about me, for crying out loud,
this song is all about how you worked your ass off, and rose above the crowd,
this song is about what matters most, which is how freaking proud
I am of you,
I am so proud of you,
I am so proud.

Dude.
Dude, I can't help but see you,
up there in technicolor for the whole wide world to see.
Dude,
yeah this guy, he could be you,
the guy with the brain and the ego to match, and I'm sure you would agree:
the guy who was sure that his rational mind would be all he would ever need,
and is forced to discover the world in his heart before he can grow up and succeed,
and dude,
whatever it was that did free you,
well, the guy I knew twenty years ago
would never have written this deep and wise picture show
and it's clear all these years you've continued to grow
into the amazing man I knew you could be,
and it thrills me to sit in the theatre and say to my son, that's my buddy who wrote this thing, and so we wait through the credits and point to your name and applaud,
my eleven-year-old son and me.
[Dude, thanks for a most excellent father-son movie date.]
[I'm looking forward to Passengers.]
