She asked me
Son when I grow old
Will you buy me a house of gold
And when your father turns to stone
Will you take care of me
She asked me
Son when I grow old
Will you buy me a house of gold
And when your father turns to stone
Will you take care of me
I will make you
queen of everything you see
I'll put you on the map
I'll cure you of disease
Let's say we up and left this town
And turned our future upside down
We'll make pretend that you and me
Lived ever after happily
She asked me
Son when I grow old
Will you buy me a house of gold
And when your father turns to stone
Will you take care of me
I will make you
queen of everything you see
I'll put you on the map
I'll cure you of disease
And since we know that
dreams are dead
And life turns plans up
on their head
I will plan to be a bum
So I just might become someone
She asked me
Son when I grow old
Will you buy me a house of gold
And when your father turns to stone
Will you take care of me
I will make you
queen of everything you see
I'll put you on the map
I'll cure you of disease
