Mr. Wilmington (Album Version)

Mr. Wilmington - Lucky Boys Confusion

Your dreams they shine like the sun

Now your sun has set

Hey dad grab another cigarette

Ashes fall like an unpaid debt

Come on everybody

Place your bets

In seventh grade he dug his grave

Trying to be cool with the cool kids hey

Follow everything they say

You might fit in if you misbehave

At sixteen he promised he'd be clean

He didn't then but you shouldn't leave

You do not deserve this

Hey Mr Wilmington

Yeah I heard about your son

It's hard enough to hide your scars

Small town USA

Sweet Mr Wilmington

Yeah I read about your son

Don't blame yourself

You raised him right

Remember that when you can't sleep at night

At 21 you found his gun

Hey dad it's just begun

The ties that bind they come undone

Come on everybody just for fun

At 24 you find him on the floor

Decadence was all he wore

You do not deserve this

Hey Mr Wilmington

Yeah I heard about your son

It's hard enough to hide your scars

Small town USA

Sweet Mr Wilmington

Yeah I read about your son

Don't blame yourself

You raised him right

Remember that when you can't sleep at night

And na na na na na

Na na na na na

Na na na na na

Na na na na na

At the funeral

Read his eulogy

Insincere apologies

You do not deserve this

The press and papers all decide

Hey just another suicide

You do not deserve this

Hey Mr Wilmington

Yeah I heard about your son

It's hard enough to hide your scars

Small town USA

Sweet Mr Wilmington

Yeah I read about your son

Don't blame yourself

You raised him right

Remember that when you can't sleep at night

Hey Mr Wilmington

Yeah I heard about your son

It's hard enough to hide your scars

Small town USA

Sweet Mr Wilmington

Yeah I read about your son

Don't blame yourself

You raised him right

Remember that when you can't sleep at night

Remember that when you can't sleep at night

Remember that when you can't sleep at night

Remember that when you can't sleep at night

Remember that when you can't sleep at night
