|
Tryna remember the very last time |
|
I felt a simple thing going past |
|
Was it the day in |
|
Old Georgia |
|
You were tryna take a bath? |
|
She sees the daylilies post inside |
|
And the tears spring to her eyes |
|
You turn the car around and you're |
|
Headed back down that track |
|
She's had a heart attack |
|
But the bottle of |
|
Jack sits on the counter |
|
Like the devil she knows |
|
And he beats her up and she fills her cup |
|
In the ambers of a dime fire glow |
|
See how she looked in her school year book |
|
Her friends signed imagines all around |
|
But would you stay in touch you know |
|
I miss you so much and |
|
I hope we get out of this town |
|
Every day that you get up and force your cards |
|
You're playin' your story in fits and stars |
|
You take your prospects and your pickaxe |
|
And you trudge down to the stream |
|
And you bloody your hands diggin' for your dream |
|
I went lookin' for the answers from someone |
|
I heard believes that life gets easier |
|
And you learn how to breathe and you learn |
|
How to grieve your past |
|
You study the masters and their books |
|
Givin' in to the barbs and hooks |
|
Till you except it with grace |
|
When your true love doesn't last |
|
Every day that you get up and force your cards |
|
You're playin' your story in fits and stars |
|
You take your prospects and your pickaxe |
|
And you trudge down to the stream |
|
And you bloody your hands diggin' for your dream |
|
Every day that you get up and force your cards |
|
You're playin' your story in fits and stars |
|
Your take your prospects and your pickaxe |
|
And you trudge down to the stream |
|
And you bloody your hands diggin' for your dream |
|
Every day, every day that you go down, down, down |
|
You will bloody, you will bloody your hands |
|
Take your prospects and your pickaxe and you trudge down |
|
You take your prospects and your pickaxe and you trudge down |
|
You take your prospects and your pickaxe and you trudge down |
|
You take your prospects and your pickaxe and you trudge down |
