Train - Son Of A Prison Guard Lyrics
There was a mountain on the table of bills that needed paidDishes in the kitchen sink like dreams that never fadeA wild imagination of convicts in the yardNever enough time to make ends meetSo they put it on a credit card, don't we all?You may not know just where you came from, but once upon a timeThere was a carpenter, a bartender, a broken fishing lineJust south of Royal Teeth in the town that I came fromThere were architects and astronautsBut the only one she loved was a prison guardAnd that's the only time I ever saw true loveAnd Erica's a girl I liked in GeorgiaAlone and kept me warm in EugeneI guess my mother loved too hardSet the bar too high to the skyWhat's fine enough to me is just too hardFor a son of a prison guardThere's a gate that needed painting, clothes that needed cleanThey'd say there's time enough for that when the fun has all been seenCause when we're laying on our death bed, a promise we won't sayWish we would have worked more, babyInstead of loving you that way, no wayAnd that's the only time I ever saw true loveSegourney is a girl I met in BrooklynHerris got me close in New OrleansI guess my mother loved too hardSet the bar too high to the skyWhat's fine enough to me is just too hardFor a son of a prison guardI go wherever you are, whoever you areI go wherever you are, whoever you areI go wherever you are, whoever you areI go wherever you areBetty is a girl I knew in Charlotte... left for Sydney yesterdayI guess my mother loved too hardSet the bar too high to the skyWhat's fine enough to me is just too hardFor a son of a prison guardWhoever you are
