Rodes Rollins - Oh Dear, Wes lyrics

[Verse 1] Wes was just a boy back then His dad was rough And his mom drank gin He fled his home so he could [?] To start the life for which he prayed As he got older he made good grades He played ball for Cansas State But he grew tired of running dry And he got shut down for getting high [Shortened Chorus] Oh dear God Look what they've done They locked him up Like he had a gun [Verse 2] And so it went Wes shipped away Like a beast into a cage He likes to run, no hope to fly They squashed him down if he would try He called a friend, he hoped he could Still hear her voice from where he stood The phone cut off by a machine That sounded strange and was so mean [Chorus] Oh Dear God Look what they've done They locked him up Like he had a gun Oh Good Lord We're just having fun [?] When he should've run Took the fall for nothing at all A crime so small, a price overdone Oh dear God Look what they've done They locked him up Like he had a gun [Shortened Verse 1] Wes was just a boy back then His dad was rough And his mom drank gin He fled his home so he could [?] To start the life for which he prayed [Chorus] Oh Dear God Look what they've done They locked him up Like he had a gun Oh Good Lord We're just having fun [?] When he should've run Took the fall for nothing at all A crime so small, a price overdone Oh dear God Look what they've done They locked him up Like he had a gun
