  • Lyrics

    She was almost out of high school
    When she left home
    Got a job in an office
    She answered the phone
    Her boss was a creep
    He wouldn’t leave her alone
    She had to go

    Middle of that mess
    She met a fine young man
    They rolled into houston
    In a chevrolet van
    Louisiana tags
    A beautiful band of gold
    They carried each other
    So long
    But they drifted apart
    Never really went wrong
    Just married too young
    Both moved along
    C’est la vie

    She starts every day
    Just fine
    Then she hears that voice
    Same place same time
    Her mother is in the mirror
    With the same old lines to say

    She says
    You know better baby
    Say grace
    Don’t even try
    You can’t take your brother’s place
    Don’t even try
    Don’t give me that face any more

    So where does the time go
    Now there’s gray in her hair
    She sits at her dressing table
    In a wrought iron chair
    Wears a terrycloth robe
    With a tear
    When she is alone
    The tv says war in the holy land
    She looks at the wrinkles on the
    Back of her hand
    Rubs her finger where she wore a wedding band
    She looks away
    Precious savior
    She remembers a hymn
    It is a hymn
    She never liked
    She goes to the gym
    Goes to work
    Dinner with a friend
    Falls asleep
    With the tv on
