Picture of My Dress |
| I’m at a truck stop in New Mexico just before dawn |
| Somebody’s grandma behind the wheel of a big rig |
| Pulling in with her headlights on |
| We smoke a cigarette as the sunrise runs riot |
| Someone’s got to break the quiet |
| And she says, «what are you doing here anyway? |
| And I smile and say, «you'd never guess» |
| She holds it up for me by its skinny white shoulder straps |
| While I, I take a picture of my dress |
| I take a picture of my dress |
| I’m in the bathroom of a Dallas Texas Burger King |
| Steven Tyler is on the overhead speakers |
| He doesn’t want to miss a thing |
| Out there at the counter |
| I blend in with the lunchtime crowd |
| Try not to laugh out loud |
| I eat half my crispy chicken club |
| I get extra mayonnaise, it’s a mess |
| I take the other half out to the parking lot with me |
| Pop the trunk and take a picture of my dress |
| I take a picture of my dress |
| It still looks good, I only wore it once |
| Four years ago, four years and seven months |
| It may be a long time before the highway |
| Decides to finally set me free |
| I’m going to have to chase down the remnants |
| Of something special that you stole from me |
| It may be hiding in the sunset, or in distant corners of the dawn |
| Or maybe it’s gone |
| But I say some prayers above the engine |
| I bless everything there is to bless |
| Run out of gas in the middle of nowhere anyway |
| Stand by the roadside smiling |
| And take a picture of my dress |
| I take a picture of my dress |
| I take a picture of my dress |
| I take a picture of my dress |
