Me And Emily

Lyrics

Floorboard's filled with baby toys And empty coke bottles and coffee cups Driving through the rain with no radio Trying not to wake her up Cell phone says "low battery" God, what if I break down? I'm just looking for an exit with a lotta lights A safe little interstate town Just a cheap hotel With a single bed And cable TV Is good enough for me and Emily Someday when she's old enough She's gonna start asking questions about him Some kid at school brings his Dad for show and tell And gets her little mind a-wondering "Where's my Daddy? Do I have one? Does he not love me like you do?" Oh, maybe I'll find someone To love the both of us And I'll tell her When she's old enough to know the truth Will it break her heart? Will she understand That I had to leave? That's what was best for me and Emily That house was never clean enough His dinner never warm enough Nothing I did was ever good enough to make him happy So I guess he gave me what he thought I deserved But it would kill me if he ever raised his hand to her Big rigs are throwing rain on my windshield And I feel like they're laughing at me Finally the storm is lettin' up And the morning is breaking free It's a brand new day It's a second chance Yesterday is just a memory For me and Emily Floorboard is filled with baby toys And empty coke bottles and coffee cups Least there's one good thing that he gave me And she's starting to wake up
