Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Her picture's more than a photograph The only thing that can make me laugh A substitute just to numb the pain But I'll be okay I see her face on the interstate But I know it's a cruel mistake Sometimes I hope that I can escape But there's no leaving this I think too much, then I hate myself I could never feel what she felt My eyes grow wet whenever I hear her answering machine Her garden died the month she did She had it growing since she was a kid Her mother wept, pointed and blamed me for Not keeping up with it I'm the bearer of bad news I'm the subject of which I choose I wrote this song on the way back home A hundred cars, yet I'm all alone I'll use the glow from these passing streetlights to Write an ode to you I found out ways to distract myself You'd use them too if you felt how I felt The night ravages and transforms me into Some other dying thing I never took off my wedding ring It never felt like a ball and chain Those drunken nights, you used to tease me that's How it felt to you I broke the news to my mom last week Those four months were an eternity My voice cracked and it sounded weak And then she hung up the phone They saw a singer who cannot sing Scatter ashes by an old oak tree Laura never knew It would come her way So soon She says "It runs in the family I just hoped it'd skip a gene" And that's when she looked at me With a defeated smile, she cries out "Babe, I guess we'll be history"
