Lyrics
You laid me down easy
With no time left to cry
You called me the one
Child who'd grown old
To brighten her eyes
You said life's more than pay dirt
It covers the rose
It's more than a wish
Or a Saturday kiss
And I want some more
Leave me in the middle I think I've
Got another way to lose the load
I'll wait another night just to find you
I spent all my money
On a mockingbirds song
I cashed my last check
I borrowed I begged
To see you again
And the lines on my face dear
Have grown crooked and cracked
So I shrank in my skin
Let the morning begin
To fool me again
