Where We Have to Stay

Well, I wonder what my daddy did today

We're still not so sure how long he's got to stay

Soon enough, his hair will turn long and gray

Like the four gray walls of where he is today

Time sure passes slowly when you're locked up tight

And it don't get no faster after plenty nights

You'd think that kinda time spent would move the clock along

I wish that you were right, but you're wrong

Wonder what my daddy did today?

We're still not so sure how long he's got to stay

Soon enough, his hair will turn long and gray

Like the four gray walls of where he is today, yeah

I'm sure he's probably thinking about his only son

About when I'll slow down and not have too much fun

I'm sure he's probably right, and I should settle down

If not, they'll lock me up and put me down

I kept it up too long, and now I'm running out

Of places I can hide, but not things to worry about

They caught me hiding out down at the wrong place

You should've seen the look on his face

Wonder what should we do today?

Lord knows how long we'll have to stay

Soon enough, our hair will turn long and gray

Like the four gray walls of where we are today

Like the four gray walls of where we have to stay
