Chris Smither - Every Mother's Son lyrics

I speak to you, I think you'll understand You know you've made your son Joseph a dangerous man He's gone to town, he's bought himself a gun This could happen to every mother's son I spoke to Joseph, his time has come "Vengeance is mine," he said, "Come join the fun" He looked more like a Judas on the run This could happen to every mother's son Since I spoke to Joseph, he's gone into town He k**ed six strong men 'fore they shot him down I hate to think it's only just begun This could happen to every mother's son Something to tell you, I think you should know You think too fast and you love too slow, you know You needn't feel you're the only one This could happen to every mother's son
