As we roll in to River Bend
your tongue lashes on my car window.
Maynard stares from his broke lawn chair,
his crystal has yet to kick in though.
We wind our way through the mansions and play
some songs Poppi wrote on the banjo.
Your eyes look crazed and I know you won't stay,
but the leaves show me where you ran though.
Sweet Molly, will you be waiting' on me
when I come round that trail?
It's been a long, hard winter, girl
and I love you still.

Back Seat
02:55
|

Sitting in the driveway killing time
You won't let me go without a bite
Get to work still bleeding, and sigh
All you wanted was to come along for the ride
The back seat is empty for me now
I wish 17 years ago was now
The back seat is empty for me now.

Molly, My Dear

Seventeen years ago they left you for to fend
In the hills of old Virginia they left you for to fend
Each night you wanted to see the dawn again
Brought you down to me my friend
All those lands are gone to sin
Days are shorter now it's said
Fourteen years ago you came to me my dear
Walked away from a shallow grave and northern you did steer
Took my heart and held it, held it close my dear
all my love for you girl, all my love and tears
Each night you wanted to see the dawn again
Brought you down to me my friend
All those lands are gone to sin
Days are shorter now it's said
Just one year ago as time would not abide
We held you in our arms, held you bye and bye
Held you bye and bye girl, listened as you sighed
Laid down your precious head little girl, and said your sweet goodbye
Each night you wanted to see the dawn again
Brought you down to me my friend
All those lands are gone to sin
Days are shorter now it's said

You're Not There Anymore

I wanna take you out fake you out lay you out down to the shore
wherewithal stare at all bare it all you just get bored
take it in stay again wear it thin and out through the door
even all needing all fleeting all leave it all..
Always by the door, when we get home
you're not there anymore
All we have left are ashes on the floor
you're not there anymore
back it out laugh it out wear it out look what's in store
care with you scare with you tearing you out from the ward
model thin let her win where you been moving it toward
double wide take in stride how did I wreck this before?
Fourteen days since we got home
you're not here anymore
All we have left is everything you were
but you're not there anymore

Fort Belvoir, VA

I met you down, drownin' in Fort Belvoir, VA
You were all alone
You didn't pause, met my eye and got right in
but I couldn't take you home
lonesome road
lonesome wait
when all was told
we both were saved
Two weeks later in spite of all, Great Falls, VA
it was all I could see
to wait and watch that long driveway
bringing you to me
lonesome road
lonesome wait
when all was told
we both were saved
now you're mine, all mine, in wilding West Virgina
you'll never be alone
those people who left you all those years ago
must've been made of stone
I met you down, drownin' in Fort Belvoir, VA
You were all alone
You didn't pause, met my eye and got right in
Now I can take you home

Through the Glass
02:58
|

Where are you going with them lil' shoes on?
Where I want, when I want, won't you leave it alone?
Why the bathtub when the fireworks start?
Why aren't you, what can I do, they're gonna tear us apart
How do you know before I'm leaving you?
You look sad through the glass, through the glass
What was the last thing that you heard me say?
I love you, I love you, and I drifted away...

Stay

I don't know how you knew when she was sad
and it kills me to think when I was mad
I'm sorry for those long quiet days
Where we made you wait and wait
I can't believe we walked all this way
Let's stay here a while and lay
Take off that dress and stay
I don't want to go back now
you'll be gone when I look around
All you gave us can't be spent
But you never even thought of it
I can't believe we walked all this way
Let's stay here a while and lay
Take off that dress and stay
I looked at you and you knew right away
she's the one who's going to stay
she held your head in just the right way
always made sure you were safe
I can't believe we walked all this way
Let's stay here a while and lay
Take off that dress and stay
