| You light up a smoke
|
| And suddenly everything’s coming up roses
|
| You’re forgetting that I know how to peel back the leaves to your artichoke
|
| heart
|
| Dad it’s broken
|
| Just 200 miles from the love of your life
|
| Feels like an eternity I know
|
| And it sticks in your side like the blade of a knife
|
| Each time you’ve gotta let her go
|
| I see that gravity pulls your tears to the ground
|
| I know you haven’t been good since she’s not around
|
| And I tried to shake some sense into you
|
| Shoulda know I wouldn’t and just like me you need the lov of a woman
|
| I watch you counting down the hours 'til the end of th day
|
| I’m getting tired of sitting by to watch you fade away
|
| Drinking won’t stop the pain but I know it helps to numb it
|
| Just like me you need the love of a good good woman
|
| To both of your boys it’s clear that the distance has taken its toll
|
| And the cracks in your voice are like seems where the stitching has failed in
|
| your soul
|
| Just 4 little hours from the love of your life
|
| Feels like an eternity I know
|
| And it slowly devours you up from inside
|
| Each time you’ve gotta let her go
|
| I see that gravity pulls your tears to the ground
|
| I know you haven’t been good since she’s not around
|
| And I tried to shake some sense into you
|
| Shoulda know I wouldn’t and just like me you need the love of a woman
|
| I watch you counting down the hours 'til the end of the day
|
| I’m getting tired of sitting by to watch you fade away
|
| Drinking won’t stop the pain but I know it helps to numb it
|
| Just like me you need the love of a good good woman
|
| Just like me you need the love of a good good woman
|
| Just like me you need the love of a good good woman |
