Our house never seemed to be so cold like this before
G D C D
But now the wind blows free between the seals and 'neath the door.

And a four for a dollar photograph and she and I once made,
 
The way she looked at me back then ain't the way she does today.

Now he don't care enough to try and save our home.

Lord, you know it tears me up. Where do I belong?

With the one who doesn't love me or all alone? -
 
G D C G
I can't help but think about mistakes that we have made
D C D
And I guess when you start out all wrong, you end up the same way
G D C D
To me, our love was wild and free like a runaway train
 
We couldn't have no wedding band to hide her daddy's shame
 
A E D A
She don't seem to smile nomore or look me in the eye
E D E
He don't say a thing at all or hold me when I cry
F#m E D E
But we weren't raised to run from our responsibilities
 
I'll stay for my baby like my momma stayed for me
