Another drink
Another line to do
But I don't have one for you
Take my advice
The lawyer's wife said
The lord will get me through this
But she didnt know
She was all alone
Her son the preacher
Said he'd meet her,
So he got drunk and stayed at home
But she didnt know
About the affair
Sweet sixteen I've seen her Running round the way
Wasting time
Wasting away with you
As we race around the sun
Watch the night
Turn into day
As the piper calls us home
But we didnt know
It was all in vain
We're just too far gone to Feel all of our pain
But we didnt know
It was always there
Stuck in the back of our minds Like the nagging from your mother
*Bridge*
I bet she didnt know
He was always there
When no one else was
But she just pushed him away
I bet she didnt know
He was all alone
Her son the lover, fighter Finding his own way
