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
