lyrics

His hands are clutching to the wheel as she’s laying there tonight
In the backseat of a broken down sedan
And the traffic lights are blurring as they speed out in the night
And his eyes are filled with worry in that steady glare
And he said darling I’m gonna get you there
Don’t you worry none
I aint been married 50 years to watch you die
And in all that time you carried me like no one ever knew
So I swear to god and all that’s holy I’m gonna get you through
I swear to god I’m gonna be strong like you

There’s a girl in the city in a brand new room
As the sun’s coming up over the Bay
And she left family behind her just find something new
She’s watering flowers at the beginning of the day
And with the city up above her and the concrete below
At her fingers a garden grows
And she said I’ll find home some day
But right now I’ve got so much rambling to do
And to the lilies in the pots that grow up so far from home
She said I’m gonna blossom like you

So if there’s meaning in the broadness its in the simple things we find
Its in the darkness where my hands are scared to go
And if there’s no greater purpose at least there is in a mothers song
That’s where my hopelessness find hope to carry on
That’s where my hopelessness finds hope to carry on

His hands are clutching to the wheel as she’s laying there tonight
In the backseat of a brand new minivan
And the traffic lights are blurring as they speed out in the night
And his eyes are filled with worry in that excited stare
And he said darling I’m gonna get you there
Don’t you worry none
She said I know you will
No one loves me like you do
And its gonna be a boy and his eyes are gonna be the fiercest blue
And darling he’s gonna be beautiful
Like you
