Mr. Wilmington Lyrics - Commitment - Lucky Boys Confusion

Your dreams they shine like the sun 

Now your sun has set 

Hey dad, grab another cigarette 

ashes fall like an unpaid debt 

come on everybody 

place your bets 

you dreaded this before dying old 

and poor all because your kid 

lived through a metaphone 

had it all behind closed doors 

he had it all but he wanted more 

in seventh grade he dug his grave 

trying to be cool with the cool kids, hey 

follow everything they say 

you might fit in if you misbehave 

at sixteen, he promised he'd be clean 

he didn't then but you shouldn't leave 

you do not deserve this 

hey Mr. Wilmington 

yeah I heard about your son 

it's hard enough to hide your scars 

small town usa 

sweet Mr. Wilmington 

yeah I read about your son 

don't blame yourself 

you raised him right 

remember that when you can't sleep at night 

at 21 you found his gun 

hey dad it's just begun 

the ties that bind they come undone 

come on everybody just for fun 

at 24 you find him on the floor 

decadence was all he wore 

you do not deserve this 

hey Mr. Wilmington 

yeah I heard about your son 

it's hard enough to hide your scars 

small town usa 

sweet Mr. Wilmington 

yeah I read about your son 

don't blame yourself 

you raised him right 

remember that when you can't sleep at night 

and na na na na na 

na na na na na 

na na na na na 

na na na na na 

at the funeral 

read his eulogy 

insincere apologies 

you do not desrerve this 

the press and papers all decide 

hey, just another suicide 

you do not deserve this 

hey Mr. Wilmington 

yeah I heard about your son 

it's hard enough to hide your scars
