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.

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

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

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 03:55
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
