She said, "It's none of my business but it breaks my heart" Dropped a dozen cheap roses in my shopping cart Made it out to the truck without breaking down Everybody knows you in a speed trap town Well it's a Thursday night but there's a high school game Sneak a bottle up the bleachers and forget my name These 5A bastards run a shallow cross It's a boy's last dream and a man's first loss And it never did occur to me to leave 'til tonight And there's no one left to ask if I'm alright I'll sleep until I'm straight enough to drive, then decide If there's anything that can't be left behind The doctor said Daddy wouldn't make it a year But the holidays are over and he's still here How long can they keep you in the ICU? Veins through the skin like a faded tattoo Was a tough state trooper 'til a decade back When that girl who wasn't mama caused his heart attack He didn't care about us when he was walking around Just pulling women over in a speed trap town But it never did occur to me to leave 'til tonight When I realized he'll never be alright Sign my name and say my last goodbye, then decide That there's nothing here that can't be left behind The road got blurry when the sun came up So I slept a couple hours in the pickup truck Drank a cup of coffee by an Indian mound A thousand miles away from that speed trap town A thousand miles away from that speed trap town
