Father's Son In the glare of a neon sign She laid her body down The damned walked in beside her And laid his money down
He said don't try to scream now But I want this one to hurt And tonight my pretty one I'm gonna get my money's worth
He said they never listened
She said they'd never understand That I don't this for pleasure I just do it cause I can
I swear I didn't want to And I swear I didn't know That things like this could happen To a 17-year old
[Chorus] And I've bundled up all these fears inside And I've bottled up all of this pain And no one or nothing can take this away But I won't let it happen again Never again
In the haze of a smoky room He chokes that bottle down It's been a month since her saw her face Underneath the blood stained gown
He thinks about that little girl And the one he has at home And wonders what if that was my little girl Walkin down that road alone
[Chorus] And I've bundled up all these fears inside And I've bottled up all of this pain And no one or nothing can take this away But I won't let it happen again Never again Never again No
Maybe I'm just crazy or the devil got inside But either way my soul is gone, And I'll end this all night The one hand throws the whiskey, and the other throws the gun As he cries out to the heavens I am not my father's son
[Chorus] And I've bundled up all these fears inside And I've bottled up all of this pain And no one or nothing can take this away But I won't let it happen again Never again Never again No
