I let you down
Lower than my grandma would have allowed
I was safe in her hands once
She tripped down a flight of stairs
But she never let go of me
The ambulance came and I cried hysterically
And I still owe her one
When I come to visit I pull the car around front
And now I drink till I can't stand
Hereditary loose cannon
Well time chisels away
At a baby face
A fingerprint covered mirror
And I got a teacher who stays
Up all night
Kid puking on his shirt
He's got twenty years to work
Till he's excused for life
And he says you can hate my guts
But please give my kid a job
Take her out to lunch
Time chisels away
At a baby face
A fingerprint covered mirror
All this love locked behind bars
I'm gonna let it loose in the backyard
All this love locked behind bars
I'm gonna let it loose in the backyard
Time chisels away
At a baby face
A fingerprint covered mirror
