Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She was almost out of high school when she left home
Got a job in an office
She answered the phone
Her boss was a creep
He wouldn't leave her alone
She had to go
​
[Verse 2]
Middle of that mess she met a fine young man
They rolled into Houston in a Chevrolet van
Louisiana tags, a beautiful band of gold
​
They carried each other so long
But they drifted apart never really went wrong
Just married too young both moved along c'est la vie
​
She starts every day just fine
She hears that voice same place same time
Her mother is in the mirror with the same old lines to say
​
[Verse 3]
She says
You know better baby
Say grace
Don't even try
You can't take your brother's place
Don't even try
Don't give me that face any more
[Verse 4]
​
So where does the time go
Now there is gray in her hair
She sits at her dressing table
In a wrought iron chair
Wears a terry cloth robe
With a tear
When she's alone
[Verse 5]
The tv says war in the holy land
She looks at the wrinkles on the
Back of her hand
Rubs her finger where she wore a wedding band
She looks away
​
[Verse 6]
Precious savior
She remembers a hymn
It's a hymn
She never liked
She goes to the gym, goes to work
Dinner with a friend falls asleep
With the tv on
​
[Verse 7]
You know better baby
Say grace
Don't even try
You can't take your brother's place don't even try
Don't give me that face anymore
[Verse 8]
​
Say grace baby you know how
All these years even now
Stand up, mother take a bow
'Cause you still make her cry
