Son Of a Prison Guard lyrics

There was a mountain on the table of bills that needed paid

Dishes in the kitchen sink like dreams that never fade.

A wild imagination of convicts in the yard,

Never enough time to make ends meet

So they put it on a credit card, don't we all?

You may not know just where you came from, but once upon a time

There was a carpenter, a bartender, a broken fishing line.

Just south of Royal Teeth in the town that I came from,

There were architects and astronauts

But the only one she loved was a prison guard.

And that's the only time I ever saw true love.

And Erica's a girl I liked in Georgia

Alone and kept me warm in Eugene.

I guess my mother bless her heart

Set the bar too high to start

What's fine enough for me is just too hard

For a son of a prison guard.

There's a gate that needed painting, clothes that needed clean.

They'd say there's time enough for that when the fun has all been seen.

'Cause when we're laying on our death bed, a promise we won't say

Wish we would have worked more, baby

Instead of loving you that way, no way.

And that's the only time I ever saw true love.

Segourney is a girl I met in Brooklyn

Herris got me close in New Orleans

I guess my mother bless her heart

Set the bar too high to start

What's fine enough for me is just too hard

For a son of a prison guard.

I go wherever you are, whoever you are

I go wherever you are, whoever you are

I go wherever you are, whoever you are

I go wherever you are.

Betty is a girl I knew in Charlotte

...left for Sydney yesterday.

I guess my mother bless her heart

Set the bar too high to start

What's fine enough for me is just too hard

For a son of a prison guard.

Whoever you are
