Verse

Sometimes I think about my daddy

and his old spice grin,

Cleaned pressed shirts, and a farmers tan

She never asked him questions

So he never told her lies

but I heard my mama cry some

And I was sitting in the hallway on the night he left

huggin my knees, holding my breath

I never knew why but he was damn sure gone

thought it was maybe my fault

Chorus

Verse

Now the evening is just starting to chill a bit

with the fireflies in flight over the trees and it

Brings to mind the glider where she used to sit

And count the headlights on the highway

So I think of where you're goin'

Where you are tonight

What you might have seen,

since I last saw those eyes.

I know that I can't win, If I do not play

But this whole thing scares me

Chorus

 and Cshe looked real Dnice, She looked real Gnice
