Floorboard's filled with baby toys an' empty coke
Bottles an' cofee cups
Drivin' through the rain with no radio
Tryin' not to wake her up.
Cell 'phone says"low battery"
God what if I break down
I'm just lookin' 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 an' Emily.
Some day when she's old enough
She's gonna start askin' questions about him.
Some kid at school brings his Dad for show an' tell
An' gets her little mind a-wonderin'
"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
An' 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 an' 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 throwin' rain on my windshield
An' I feel like they're laughin' at me.
Fin'lly the storm is lettin' up
An' the mornin' is breakin' free.
It's a brand new day
It's a second chance.
Yesterday is just a memory
For me an' Emily.
Ah.
Floorboard is filled with baby toys
An' empty coke bottles an' coffee cups.
Least there's one good thing that he gave me
An' she's startin' to wake up.
