Momma ran off with a man from town
|
Daddy came home, found the note, got drunk and fell down
|
Jessie was crying, no tears would be saved
|
I couldn't take it so I started pining straight for the grave
|
I should've told you that night that we slept in the car
|
I would've told you but I never saw us getting this far
|
|
I met a man in a suit, he said he'd give me a job
|
I wouldn't have to pay taxes and I wouldn't have to rob
|
Man it was easy, all I had to do was drive
|
I didn't care what was in the suitcase, it felt good to be alive
|
I should've told you that night that we slept in the car
|
I would've told but I never saw us getting this far
|
|
I know I've been hard on you baby
|
Momma should've known that you can't grow up alone
|
And we will be together someday maybe
|
There's no place called home
|
|
Something was funny, the whole deal kind of strange
|
I could hear Momma saying son you're Daddy ain't never gonna change
|
I was down in an instant, just a big flash of light
|
Undercover lie bleeding, I guess I put up a fight
|
I should've told you that night we made love on the bar
|
I would've told you but I never saw us getting this far
|
|
I know I've been hard on you baby
|
Momma should've known that you can't grow up alone
|
And we will be together someday maybe
|
There's no place called home
|
