When I met you your mama, was dyin'

And I had no idea how you held onto your job

We destroyed my house and I'd wish I was your boyfriend

And on the night she passed we'd been drinking all day long

At 22 years the woman was your best friend

But your stepdaddy stole her ashes from your home

Then he disappeared somewhere across the ocean

Now you got nowhere to kneel when you feel alone

And you'd say close the window, its giving me weird dreams just like

The world outside is fightin' for my head

And what am I gonna do when i can't smell her anymore

Well if it comes to that, I might as well be dead

And it took you a while to figure out that lovin' shitty men wouldn't bring her back and you finally packed your bags and we hit the road

You had a mountain of debt, some two faced friends and no place to call home, but El Paso died along with her bless their soul

And you'd say close the window, its giving me weird dreams just like

The world outside is fightin' for my head

And what am I gonna do when i can't smell her anymore

Well if it comes to that, I might as well be dead

And if it comes to that, I might as well be dead

And if it comes to that, I might as well be dead
