lyrics

Fallen apart and torn down,
Fall of that year she turned me around,
When she said to me, a few choice words
She said things'll never seem to get better
The way you talk right now you just make'm worse
I know we don't have a lot
But I say you deal with what you've got
Besides you know, You've got me
So I smiled at her and nodded to agree

Self pity was my middle name
When she walked in that bar and whispered my name
Louder and louder 'till I looked up
With tears in her eyes she spoke those words
And I was speechless from what I'd just heard
But I opened my mouth to try to speak
But actions are real and talk is cheap
Besides you know, words aren't for me
So I smiled at her and nodded to agree

Moma lived on the outskirts of town
In a two room house built on family ground
It was the only thing that she could claim
Her social security and all her savings slipped away
Until the bills came in that she knew she couldn't pay
So she came to me with tears in her eyes
Saying, "What can I do? I just wanna die"
So I held her hand, and said you got me
She smiled and nodded to agree
