Sheriffs Son

Intro

Verse 1 I found his shirt with the stain on the cuff Two nights after the boy went off Mama said don't ask me why And the kitchen sink ran pink and dry

Pre-Chorus And he kissed me on the brow at six Said the world's a fragile fix Said the law's a heavy coat Said you know your daddy votes

Chorus Sheriff's son, sheriff's son Eats his supper, washes the plate Bleaches the sleeve in cold cold water Calls his daddy good and great

Verse 2 There's a yearbook on the upper shelf Half the pages have been torn Folks who used to live next door Don't live nowhere anymore

Pre-Chorus And he kissed me on the brow at six Said the world's a fragile fix Said the law's a heavy coat Said you know your daddy votes

Chorus Sheriff's son, sheriff's son Eats his supper, washes the plate Bleaches the sleeve in cold cold water Calls his daddy good and great

Bridge Maybe a wife knew something too Maybe a wife is what you do Maybe a son is what you raise To carry the silence through his days Sheriff's son, sheriff's son Eats his supper, washes the plate Bleaches the sleeve in cold cold water Calls his daddy good and great Calls his daddy good and great
