I don't love you anymore well that ended their fighting for good

Mom and daddy fought a war bigger than any two countries could

Was it mama's addiction or his cheating that killed them, was it just the turn of a leaf?

Daddies dying, pain pills and pride and taxes and people who leave

Well you try to love like you're meant to

But you die before you learn how

Sweet babies cry but there's no one to tend to 'em

Cause mama's too high and daddy's too low in the ground

So I went out to the west when I turned 17 and I married a girl

I swear I did everything that I could just to give her the world

But she left in a shout one night I guess a man doesn't fall too far from the tree

Cause I cheated in Barstow then died in Nevada, now she's raising the kids without me

Well you try to love like you're meant to

But you die before you learn how

Sweet babies cry but there's no one to tend to 'em

Cause mama's too high and daddy's too low in the ground
