my jail shoes on
|
the well kept cemetery lawn
|
both of them weeping
|
their one good son now was gone
|
the irony to see my dad down on his knees
|
crying out to jesus
|
but lord i've always done what's right
|
and all the while
|
the good lord smiled
|
and looked the other way
|
(and looked the other way)
|
|
when we were kids
|
i did my best to make them proud
|
it just wasn't in me
|
i could not fly straight to save my life
|
and all the while
|
the good lord smiled
|
and looked the other way
|
(and looked the other way)
|
|
their big success is now their biggest failure
|
their golden child has been dethroned
|
their reputation is now in ruins
|
their tower to heaven has come tumbling down
|
and all the while
|
the good lord smiles
|
and looks the other way
|
(and looks the other way)
