| She looked her best in life when she was seventeen
|
| Of all the girls at school she was the prettiest that I’d seen
|
| And I guess I’d say she loved me but I always knew she’d go
|
| 'Cause she deserves much better than the only life I know
|
| The only life I know, only life I know
|
| She deserves much better than the only life I know
|
| Well you do what you can anywhere you are
|
| He was the only mother too young to go to bars
|
| She wore a Jack Daniels t-shirt and the black faded to grey
|
| And she deserves much better than the only life I know
|
| The only life I know, only life I know
|
| She deserves much better than the only life I know
|
| The only life I know, only life I know
|
| She deserves much better than the only life I know
|
| Now all our friends warned me she would leave me soon
|
| She never really fit in, aw she’d stand out in a room
|
| And it’s the kind of town where your first love is your last
|
| She deserves much better than the only life I know
|
| The only life I know, only life I know
|
| She deserves much better than the only life I know
|
| The only life I know, only life I know
|
| She deserves much better than the only life I know
|
| She left home with that winning smile and she’s never coming back
|
| And I just couldn’t argue, she’d already packed her bags
|
| I hope I never find her in a truck stop on the road
|
| She deserves much better than the only life I know
|
| The only life I know, only life I know
|
| She deserves much better than the only life I know
|
| The only life I know, only life I know
|
| She deserves much better than the only life I know |
