Judge’s House

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It's four o'clock in the morning On this side of town A lonely dog barking Is the only other sound Sitting in my car Outside this judge's house Ten years to the day that he Brought his gavel down [Pre-Chorus] Ten years ago But I recall it like it was yesterday A man remembers When you take ten years of his life away [Chorus] Judge lives here on this side of town Where the grass is greener And the driveways are long like memory They go on and on and on and on and on [Verse 2] Thе yellow bus was parked Outside thе schoolyard gate I stepped on the gas, sped around it Didn't see her 'til it was too late Whiskey on my breath Made my trial a formality You did what your law books said You had to do to me [Pre-Chorus] But Judge, I got a burning anger That was ten years long and I had plans for you But that's all gone now Like some forgotten thought in the morning dew [Chorus] Judge lives here on this side of town Where the grass is greener And the driveways are long like memory Lined with flowers and trees They go on and on and on and on and on [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] Now Judge, your kids are older now And mine are too Yours come around to see you Mine never do And somewhere on a wall in a house On this side of town Hangs a picture of a little girl Who'll never come around [Pre-Chorus] But Judge, I've got a fistful of, of roses And I toss them on your lawn Put the car in drive And I'm all gone, I'm all gone [Chorus] Judge lives here on this side of town Where the grass is greener And the driveways are long like memory You should see 'em They go on and on and on and on and on
