It seems a point is being missed here.
I don't see this as a song about a son killing his father. The point is that any opponent out there could be his son.
How would the gunfighter know him if he hadn't seen him for years? I see it as a cautionary tale of loss and regret. The message seems clear enough to me.

Whether it's commercial or contemporary or not is a different thing but it is well written in the sense that it all links up and makes sense.

It's never too late? Yes it is, so do it now.

If, given time, a monkey can write the complete works of Shakespeare maybe there's hope for me.
