"Sins Of My Father"
Misheard Lyrics: I'm gonna take the sins of my brother
Down to the pawn. Original Lyrics: I'm gonna take the sins of my brother
Down to the pond. |
Story about this misheard lyric by: Keith I've been singing along with this song for a while now. I assumed he was taking the sins of his father, mother, and brother down to the pawn shop to 'cash in' on all of his family's sins for personal gain. At the end of the song he sing 'I'm gonna wash them'. When I started thinking about that line, the pawn shop didn't make quite as much sense. I looked up the correct lyrics and it's like when a 3D stereogram comes into focus...oh, now I see. |
