Cheap Shades Lyrics - Chris Staples

Mom went into labor in the middle of the night 

Had my dad worried but I came out right 

And his cold hand trembled as he cut the chord 

And he drove us both home in a beat up ford 

But nobody asked me 

Nobody asked me 

They sprinkle water on my baby head 

And made some claims about the dead 

Repeated words the ancients said 

They drink some wine, they broke some bread 

But nobody asked me 

Nobody asked me

The morning sun is going to wake me 

Herb from the garden going to bake me 

No fast talker going to take me anymore

I used to be a sharp young thing 

Had a bell waiting for a ring 

She was just a stop along my way 

An umbrella for my rainy day 

But I lace my boots 

I pour a glass a wine 

I turn the day over in my mind 

Was I just a stop along her way 

Some cheap shades for a sunny day 

The morning sun is going to wake me 

Herb from the garden going to bake me 

No fast talker going to take me anymore
