She tests every word like a fine wine. She holds every thought like her last dime. You can hear a pin drop from miles away. You can hear a heart stop as plain as day.
Hey baby, won't you take my hand. And make me a happy man. I ain't rich but I found my fortune in you. Two jobs on the nighttime shift. I'm still left with an empty fist.
Mashed potatoes, lima beans,. Red eye gravy, collard greens,. Cutest waitress you've ever seen,. Down at Junior's grill.. . Sweet Ginger brings your plate,.
I can still remember my first guitar. Bright and shiny like a brand new car. Even took it with me when I went to school. And I practiced every day till I got real good.
I hear an echo through the aching distance. I know your injured voice. You stand behind this wall of ice between us. I guess you had no choice. . You had to save yourself, I understand.
I can't eat, I can't sleep,. I got nubs where my fingernails used to be. And my cat is lookin' kinda worried 'bout me.. . The phone rings and I pounce.
