Me And Emily Lyrics - Singles - Rachel Proctor

Floorboard's filled with baby toys 

An' empty coke bottles an' coffee cups 

Drivin' through the rain with no radio 

Tryin' not to wake her up 

Cell phone says, "Low battery" 

God, what if I break down? 

I'm just lookin' for an exit with a lotta lights 

A safe little interstate town 

Just a cheap hotel 

With a single bed 

And cable TV 

Is good enough for me an' Emily 

Some day, when she's old enough 

She's gonna start askin' questions about him 

Some kid at school brings his dad for show an' tell 

An' gets her little mind a wonderin' 

"Where's my daddy? Do I have one? 

Does he not love me like you do?" 

Oh, maybe I'll find someone to love the both of us now 

An' I'll tell her when she's old enough to know the truth 

Will it break her heart? 

Will she understand 

That I had to leave? 

That's what was best for me an' Emily 

That house was never clean enough, his dinner never warm enough 

Nothing I did was ever good enough to make him happy 

So, I guess, he gave me what he thought I deserved 

But it would kill me if he ever raised his hand to her 

Big rigs are throwin' rain on my windshield now 

An' I feel like they're laughin' at me 

Finally the storm is lettin' up 

An' the mornin' is breakin' free 

It's a brand new day 

It's a second chance 

Yesterday is just a memory 

For me an' Emily 

Floorboard is filled with baby toys 

An' empty coke bottles an' coffee cups 

Least there's one good thing that he gave me 

An' she's startin' to wake up
