[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?"
[Refrain]
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
Lived 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?"
[Refrain]
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?"
[Outro]
I will make you queen of everything you see
I'll put you on the map
I'll cure you of disease
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?"
[Refrain]
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
Lived 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?"
[Refrain]
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

And when your father turns to stone
Will you take care of me?"
[Outro]
I will make you queen of everything you see
I'll put you on the map
I'll cure you of disease
