Dan Gerbarg - House of Gold lyrics

[Verse 1] 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?" [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 I'll put you on the map I'll cure you of disease [Verse 2] Let's say we up and left this town And turned our future upside down We'll make pretend that you and me Live 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 I'll put you on the map I'll cure you of disease [Verse 3] 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 I'll put you on the map I'll cure you of disease
