My father was a farmer

Sure showed up in me

It’s been my, been my saving grace

My mother was a queen

Sure showed up in me

It’s been my, been my saving grace

Anybody still chasing the river

Anybody watch it roll Watching it roll right by

I think I was still wearing my pajamas

When I found you looking like your mom

You forgot to kiss me

You forget my name

Remember those time

We thought you would be safe forever

All the minutes, and the days and the years

You took off before I could say

I’m going back to get stuff in Wisconsin

When I first met you

You had two pillows

Both smooth and big and firm

Here is a lullaby

Come back and lie down beside me

Oh I know, I know your heart is torn

I have no sign

To ask for help

No pictures of family

No faces looking back at me

I get some beer

I wanted to tell you a story

But Instead we counted the stars
