Father's Son Songtext

von 3 Doors Down

In the glare of a neon sign
She laid her body down
A man walked in beside her
And he 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 do 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

And 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
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 he 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

And 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
But I won't let it happen again
Never again

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 holds the whiskey,
And the other floats the gun
As he cries out to the heavens
I am not my father's son

And 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
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
