Song For Carter

I met your mother when I was 16 With a pocketful of nothing and a car that wasn't clean She showed me things that I had never seen She was always looking at the good looking boys She stand in a corner and use them as toys Never did I watch and nor did I avoid She's always looking for friends in high times And every time I think of her you still cross my mind But loving was nothing that I could enjoy But loving was nothing that I could enjoy But loving was nothing that I could enjoy I moved on out at the age of 18 With a pocketful of nothing And nothing but a dream I would wash for a buck and I would fill in all the seams She was always working at that store on the hill Worried about nothing but a thing called a bill Never did she lie and nor did she steal She's always looking for friends in high times And every time I think of her you still cross my mind But loving was nothing that I could enjoy But loving was nothing that I could enjoy But loving was nothing that I could enjoy We were all scared we didn't know where to start We had you when we both were apart With 2 broken families but plenty open hearts Son I tell you now that this life is real hard And do what you do but don't ever fall apart Live how you live but don't ever stray too far
