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 seventeen 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 smokey 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]

Never again

No



Maybe I'm just crazy or the devil got inside

Either way my soul is gone

And I'll end this all tonight

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]

Never again

No
