Son Of A Prison Guard Lyrics - Bulletproof Picasso - Train

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 loved too hard 

Set the bar too high to the sky 

What's fine enough to 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 loved too hard 

Set the bar too high to the sky 

What's fine enough to 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 loved too hard 

Set the bar too high to the sky 

What's fine enough to me is just too hard 

For a son of a prison guard 

Whoever you are
