The Crown Prince - Waylon Jennings

His father was a Princeton lawyer

A man of means

His mother

Former beauty queen

A house as big as a hotel

Or expensive boulevard

That’s where he got his start

Eighteen years of summer camps 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 Crown Prince

When it all hits home

You can’t hide behind the walls

Around the throne

The real world’s not a playground

It’s a danger zone

You find out who you really are

When the pressure’s 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 quiet there

He hears the flowers bloom

He’s got a private room

It’s hard to be the Crown Prince

When it all hits home

You can’t hide behind the walls

Around the throne

Sanity is a state of mind

Where life begins

Or where it ends

It all depends
