Father's Son
In the glare of a neon signShe laid her body downThe damned walked in beside herAnd laid his money down
He said don't try to scream nowBut I want this one to hurtAnd tonight my pretty oneI'm gonna get my money's worth
He said they never listenShe said they'd never understandThat I don't this for pleasureI just do it cause I can
I swear I didn't want toAnd I swear I didn't knowThat things like this could happenTo a 17-year old
[Chorus]And I've bundled up all these fears insideAnd I've bottled up all of this painAnd no one or nothing can take this awayBut I won't let it happen againNever again
In the haze of a smoky roomHe chokes that bottle downIt's been a month since her saw her faceUnderneath the blood stained gown
He thinks about that little girlAnd the one he has at homeAnd wonders what if that was my little girlWalkin down that road alone
[Chorus]And I've bundled up all these fears insideAnd I've bottled up all of this painAnd no one or nothing can take this awayBut I won't let it happen againNever againNever againNo
Maybe I'm just crazy or the devil got insideBut either way my soul is gone, And I'll end this all tonightThe one hand throws the whiskey, and the other throws the gunAs he cries out to the heavensI am not my father's son
[Chorus]And I've bundled up all these fears insideAnd I've bottled up all of this painAnd no one or nothing can take this awayBut I won't let it happen againNever againNever againNo
