Из альбома: Where I Belong
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,
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,
An' I feel like they're laughin' at me
Fin'lly 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
Ah
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
