they say my life is like a damn country song...

i was old enough to fall hard
and too young to know better

so i said the vows
and wore the ring

moved cross the country
and made a home

did his laundry
and made him dinner


and loved him better
than i ever knew i could

things got rough
questions were asked

and challenges were made
fights had
punches thrown
curses shouted

i loved him better
than i ever knew i could

i had enough
and told him so

moved home
back to family
back to mountains
dirt roads
coyotes
rabbits on the road
lotsa stars at night

but i still
loved him better
than i ever knew i could

so i ran away
in a circle
to the army
joined up
signed up
swore in

ran
did push ups
sit ups

my damn dog died
my damn sister went to rehab
my damn family was fightin, cryin

but i still
loved him better
than i ever knew i could

i came home again
drank some more beer
smoked some more cigarettes
danced with more men
but i still loved him
better than i ever knew i could
i still loved him
better than i ever knew i could
