Floor board is filled
with baby toys
And empty coke bottles
and coffee cups
Drivin' through the rain
with no radio
tryin' not to wake her up
Cell phone says low battery
God what if I break down
I'm just lookin' for an exit
with a lot of lights
A safe little interstate town
Just a cheap hotel
with a singIe bed and cabIe TV
Is good enough for me
and Emily
Someday when she's
old enough
She's gonna start askin'
questions about him
Some kid at school
brings his dad
for show and tell
It gets her little mind
a wonderin'
Where's my daddy
do I have one
does he not love me
like you do
Oh maybe I'll find
someone to love
the both of us
And I'll tell her
when she's old enough
to know the truth
Will it break her heart
Will she understand
That I had to leave
That's what was best
for me and Emily
The house was never
clean enough
His dinner never warm enough
Nothing I did
was ever good enough
to make him happy
So I guess he gave me
what he thought I deserved
But it would kill me
if he ever raised
his hand to her
Big rigs are throwin'
rain on my windshield
And I feel like
they're laughin' at me
Finally the storm
is lettin' up
And the mornin'
is breakin' free
It's a brand new day
It's a second chance
Yesterday is just a memory
For me and Emily
Floor board is filled
with baby toys
And empty coke bottles
and coffee cups
Least there's one good thing
that he gave me
And she's startin' to wake up
