The lines on her face look weary from too many late nights and booze She was born with money and beauty and a heart that was too good to lose The wrecking ball came with no mercy she discovered far too late what was wrong With the handsome cowboy she'd married so she took to the bars with a song I will drink til I've drunk myself sober I will fall down and get up again For tonight this old Jack is my lover my confidante and my friend She had a voice like an angel a gift that few others attain The cowboy swallowed her dreams and spat them out with a careless refrain Hearts and promises once sacred were made Now he's taken up with rough lookin' trade She once span cartwheels across their front lawn Now their house is no longer a home They tried every which way for children some say that the timing was wrong, Gone was the fine art of loving he lost the need to belong Silences grew ever longer and listening became a lost art And bitterness soaked through the fabric and everything got torn apart Hearts and promises once sacred were made Now he's taken up with rough lookin' trade She once span cartwheels across their front lawn Now their house is no longer a home I swear I heard the voice of an angel cryin' as she fell down the stairs Promising peace ever after whisperin' please save a prayer She lay their quiet and listless while he lay in a motel alone They buried her out on the mountain he never bothered to phone Hearts and promises once sacred were made Now he's taken up with rough lookin' trade She once span cartwheels across their front lawn Now their house is no longer a home Hearts and promises once sacred were made Somehow his conscience got mislaid He paid no interest on the loan Now she's never gonna come home What happened to Sweet Alabama the nights of satin and stars You play like an old rusty banjo and drive like an old rental car
