[Chorus]
~#**************#~
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
~#**************#~
Ill put you on the map, Ill cure you of disease
~#**************#~
[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
Lets say we up and left this town
~#**************#~
And turned our future upside down
~#**************#~
Well make pretend that you and me
~#**************#~
Lived ever after happily
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
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
~#**************#~
Ill put you on the map, Ill cure you of disease
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
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
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
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
~#**************#~
Ill put you on the map, Ill cure you of disease
