Father's Son Lyrics

by 3 Doors Down

In the glare of a neon light (sign)
She laid her body down
A man walked in beside her
And laid his money down
He said don?t try to scream now
But I want this one to hurt
Tonight my pretty one
I?m gonna get my money?s worth
She 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

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e17518-3_doors_down~fathers_son_lyrics.html ]
And I?ve bundled up all of these things 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
Maybe I?m just crazy or the devil got inside
But either way my soul is gone, I?ve learned 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

And I?ve bundled up all of these things 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

I?ve bundled up all of these fears inside
And I?ve bottled up all of this pain
And no one or nothing can take this away
I won?t let it happen again
Never again
Never again
No
Never again
