Son of a Prison Guard Lyrics

There was a mountain on the table of bills that needed paid
in
Dishes in the kitchen sink like dreams that never fade.
A wild imagination, convicts in the yard,
in
Never enough time to make ends meet
in
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
in
There was a carpenter, a bartender, a broken fishing line.
Just south of Royalty in the town that I came from,
in
There were architects and astronauts
in
But the only one she loved was a prison guard. Uhm hm

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

America's a girl I liked in Georgia
London kept me warm up in Eugene.
I guess my mother bless her heart,
in
Set the bar too high to start.

'Cause finding love for me is just too hard
For a son of a prison guard.
There's a gate that needed painting, clothes that needed clean.
in
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
in
Wish we would have worked more, baby
n
Instead of loving you that way, no way.

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

Sigourney is a girl I met in Brooklyn
Paris got me close in New Orleans
I guess my mother bless her heart,
in
Set the bar too high to start.

'Cause finding love for me is just too hard
in
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
Jordan left for Sydney yesterday.
I guess my mother bless her heart,
in
Set the bar too high to start.

'Cause finding love for me is just too hard

For a son of a prison guard.
