country song take #2
The morning mist
Is all the rain we get
It reminds me of a time
Back to back in the dark
Winter wasn't so bad
The corn got planted
I picked the stones as I go
But the Sand Hills
Take what they wanted
I didn't know
It would be like this
I knew it'd get hard
But I never thought I would quit
Anymore than doubt
If it was worth it
Life ain't fair
Cause if it were
I only sweat to make you cry
When the song won't be sung
The guitar is silent and useless
When you're missing that girl
You want to be alone
Or be alone with her
If the song won't be writ
The singer ain't got a purpose
A politician punches his meal ticket
Thinking he had arrived
The waitress is watching the clock
Hoping for her life to desensitize
I moved mountains
To show you the sunrise
But you rolled away
I got a truck
But I lost the keys
I had a bottle
But someone drank it
I got a life
But its all second-hand
I got your things in my closet
I got your things in my closet
I don't think you forgot it
