LyricMeaning

Son Of A Prison Guard
Train

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

Dishes in the kitchen sink like dreams that never fade

A wild imagination, 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, hm

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 up 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, we 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

Jordan 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
