Well, I wonder what my daddy did today
We're still not so sure how long he's got to stay
Soon enough, his hair will turn long and gray
Like the four gray walls of where he is today
Time sure passes slowly when you're locked up tight
And it don't get no faster after plenty nights
You'd think that kinda time spent would move the clock along
I wish that you were right, but you're wrong
Wonder what my daddy did today
We're still not so sure how long he's got to stay
Soon enough, his hair will turn long and gray
Like the four gray walls of where he is today, yeah

I'm sure he's probably thinking about his only son
About when I'll slow down and not have too much fun
I'm sure he's probably right and I should settle down
If not, they'll lock me up and put me down
I kept it up too long and now I'm running out
Of places I can hide, but not things to worry about
They found me hiding out down at the wrong place
You should've seen the look on his face
Wonder, what should we do today?
Lord knows how long we'll have to stay
Soon enough, our hair will turn along and gray
Like the four gray walls of where we are today
Like the four gray walls of where we have to stay
