Lock Up Your Daughters

Lock up your daughters!

Sometimes you're actin a fool
Sometimes you're breakin the rules
Sometimes you wanna runaway
Sometimes you stay out of school
Well it's a dirty ol' town
And you know it's where we all belong
Tell your mama back home
She was just the same when she was young
I wanna give you some advice

[chorus]:
Lock up your daughters right now
We'll give you a smile on your face
Lock up your daughters somehow
This is the time
The time and the place

Sometimes you wait for a storm
Don't get to bed until dawn
Sometimes you get a little high
Unless you never been born
Well, it's a crazy ol' world
Everybody's gotta get along
Tell your mama back home
It was just the same when she was young
I tell you right now

[chorus]
[break]

You better lock up your daughters right now
We'll give you a smile on your face
Lock up your daughters somehow
This is the time and the place

[chorus]

We'll take them away
