High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! "Son of Your Father" is a song by Elton John with lyrics by Bernie Taupin. It`s 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.)
