lyrics

He’s not the only one whose Daddy’s not around
at least he’s not out pissing in the wind
she read it to herself as the pages dried the ink
her words were such a faded shade of blue

methamphetamine and wine were her secrets when he slept
but love and courage was all she’d let him see
children know a lie when they see it in your eyes
lately she felt like Peter before the dawn
but still he said to her

I love your shoes and I love your hair
I love those same old clothes you always wear
and then he smiled and mama smiled
and he said “I love you too.”

they had fights that only she could understand
‘cause after all a child’s just a child
but the crimson in his eyes was a killer every time
and bad decisions tend to hang around
but still he said to her

I love your shoes and I love your hair
I love those same old clothes you always wear
and then he smiled and mama smiled
and he said “I love you too.”


she must have lost control when she landed her first fix
and was looking for a friend to take her boy
but bad news travels fast, when a child’s taken young
a local girl meets a tragic end
so she tossed away the junk and took him in her arms
and she said to him

I love your shoes and I love your hair
I love those same old clothes you always wear
and then she smiled and her son smiled
and she said “I love you too.”
