Lyrics Waylon Jennings

Waylon Jennings

The Crown Prince

His father was a Princeton lawyer

A man of means

His mother summa-cum-laude

Former beauty queen

With a house as big as a hotel

On Spencer boulevard

That's where he got his start

Eighteen years of summer camp

And private schools

All american golden boy

With a silver spoon

His future held all the promise of a president

Wonder where it went

It's hard to be the crowned prince

When it all hits home

You can't hide behind the wall

Around the throne

The real world's not a playground

It's a danger zone

You find out who you really are

When the pressures on

He's the first one in his family to wind up second best

He couldn't pass the test

His share of the fortune

Spent on saving face

His family comes to visit

On the holidays

Sometimes it's so quite there

He hears the flowers bloom

He's got a private room

It's hard to be the crowned prince

When it all hits home

You can't hide behind the wall

Around the throne

Insanity is a state of mind

Where life begins

Or where it ends

It all depends
