“Son of Your Father” is a song by Elton John with lyrics by Bernie Taupin. It is the fourth track on his third studio album, Tumbleweed Connection. It is one of the two songs (itself and “My Father’s Gun”) to contain the word “father” in the title. The lyrics tell of an argument between two men (one blind) on “an East Virginia Farm.“ After a while, their argument leads to death because the two men did not follow the golden rule as stated in the lyrics (but in different words.)

Song lines: ♪ You're the son of your father ... He built for you a home ... Do for me as he would do for youWith blood and water, bricks and mortar ♫
