3 Doors Down - Father's Son lyrics

Artist: 3 Doors Down

Album: 17 Days

Track: Father's Son

Verse 1:

In the glare of a neon sign

She laid her body down

And he walked in beside her and he laid his money down

He said dont try to scream now

But I want this one to hurt

And tonight my pretty one

I'm gonna get my moneys worth

He said theyd never listen

She said theyd never understand

I dont do this for pleasure

I just do it cause I can

I swear I didnt want to

And I swear I didn't know

Things like this could happen to a seventeen year old

Chorus:

And I've bottled up all of these fears inside

And I've bottled up all of this pain

And no one or nothing can take this away

But I wont let it happen again

Never again!

Verse 2:

In the haze of a smokey room he chokes that bottle down

Its been since he saw her underneath the blood stained gown

He thinks about that little girl

And the one he has at home

And he wonders

What if that was my little girl

Walking down that road alone!

Chorus:

And I've bottled up all of these fears inside

And I've bottled up all of this pain

And no one or nothing can take this away

But I wont let it happen again

Never again!

Bridge:

Never again

No

Maybe I'm just crazy

Or the devil got inside

Either way my soul is gone

My littleness all night

One hand throws the whiskey

And the other throws the gun

As he shouts out to the heavens

I AM NOT MY FATHER'S SON!

Chorus:

And I've bottled up all of these fears inside

And I've bottled up all of this pain

And no one or nothing can take this away

But I wont let it happen again

Never again!

Ending:

Never again!

No

No
