If he burns the bed again Let him just apologize By now, he knows just how to say he's sorry And by now, he knows he shouldn't worry She'll forgive him and, the morning Late for work while he's still sleeping Put a twenty on the counter With a note there right beside it That says, "Have a decent day" She met him in the bar light At a time she felt untethered And he told her half the story The other half's uncertain It's rude to ask some questions She could tell that he'd been broken But she thought that she could help him Cause they seemed like simple problems Been a while since he's been working And she never wanted children Till it seemed like it's too late She pulls onto the shoulder Pulls herself together When she gets back on the highway There's the urge to keep on going Drive straight to South Dakota Or somewhere else wide open She could call up to the office Tell the people at reception To pass along the message: Carmen isn't coming in today And the day is finally over The traffic takes forever But work was mostly painless Sit and click on her computer Savings and the checking Morning into evening Came home and found him sleeping In the same place that she'd left him But it smelled like something's burning And his cigarette had fallen A black hole in the bedding It wasn't so surprising It's just hard to keep from crying When there's nothing more to say
