[00:02.116] I never knew my mother
[00:03.889] I can't say it was so bad
[00:06.506] She was still a girl of seventeen the night she met my dad
[00:10.307] He was just six months out of chino
[00:13.119] Trying his hardest to stay clean
[00:15.074] And they'd sing and they'd sing and they'd sing
[00:19.916] Like doves sleeping with broken wings
[00:24.322] In a bed fit for a king
[00:30.384] It didn't mean a thing
[00:32.883] It was shot gun forest wedding
[00:34.860] And they forgot to bring the gun
[00:37.077] As they were busy counting promises
[00:39.723] To the children not yet born
[00:42.028] No one could afford the ride
[00:43.623] Everyone hitched up with the 101
[00:46.339] And they'd sing and they'd sing and they'd sing
[00:50.698] Like doves dancing with broken wings
[00:55.162] With a view fit for a king
[01:01.277] It didn't mean a thing
[01:03.885] It was a loneliness
[01:05.162] They would confess
[01:06.138] Like the world had gone bad I guess
[01:08.339] So they hold hands and look into the eyes of god
[01:12.428] They'd say tell me why'd ya hide from us
[01:14.750] Why'd ya fill the world with wickedness
[01:17.123] Why'd ya spare us from the grace but not the rot
[01:23.445] Now my dad says **** the details
[01:25.687] Just keep your head down hard
[01:27.825] Ya got to find yourself alone before you'll find the eyes of God
[01:31.946] You make broke and scared and out of jail
[01:34.671] Out the flesh of your own heartstrings
[01:36.591] But you were born to be a peasant not a king
[01:41.133] So just stop acting like your running from something
[01:45.683] Ya gonna leave the way you came without a thing
[01:49.949] With your heart tattooed and your mind tied to a string
[01:54.455] You just sing and you sing and you sing
[02:00.557] It doesn't mean a thing
[02:04.307]
