Wonderful Life

歌詞

Every Sunday morning I wake up I see you by your dresser doing your make-up Fluttering a Chinese fan in a Knoxville fashion All last night you tossed and turned Your body was hotter than the night that Richmond burned You say you had a bad nightmare about tractor trailers crashing Throw your arms around me Let's keep this quiet Hear our hearts in the distance like cannon fire See our breath in the window, in the turning light Oh it's a wonderful Life You say you were only seventeen When you fell in love with that dirty Reverend Green I remember you at the baptism as he held his daughter down We could hear Thelma and Louise Making love under the Poplar trees We could hear some screaming, sounded like a slaughterhouse Throw your arms around me Let's keep this quiet Hear our hearts in the distance like cannon fire See our breath in the window, in the siren light Oh It's a wonderful Life Me and Joey started a fire in the road Just to watch it glow His father didn't like it though, he gave Joey a black eye Me and you we did the same damn thing We fell in love knowing the pain it would bring Now all I do is sing sad songs with red eyes Throw your arms around me Let's keep this quiet Hear our hearts in the distance like cannon fire See our breath in the window, in the turning light Oh it's a wonderful Life
