She caught me speechless
The words fled useless
Oh, useless

The moonshine, water
Her mother's daughter
Said she did not love me
Oh, that's alright
'Cause it's not about me

I won't beat myself up
She called me then hung up
I shouldn't've let it ring

A small town living
She swears soon that she's leaving
Oh, and I've said it myself over and over
Over and over
Oh, that's alright
She finally left that night

Oh, I finally followed and I found her
In the ocean from the bottom of a town
Nearly drowned
Oh, you couldn't keep her down

The city, it saved her
At least until it claimed her
She misplaced her life
In a strange arrangement of days
Through the silver city of haze
Wouldn't try to find the change

Finally painless
She'll make it eventually down to the sea
And the mess we made was history
In the dirt I'll be
I wait patiently
Oh, the dirt we'll be, oh we'll be
