Say Grace - Sam Baker

作曲 : Sam Baker
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
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
they just married too young both moved along
c’iest la vi
she starts every day
just fine
then she hears that voice
same place same time
her mother is in the mirror
with the same old lines to say
she says you know better 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
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 is alone
the tv says war in the holy land
she looks at the wrinkles on the
back of her hand
rubs her fingers where she wore a wedding band
she looks away
precious savior
she remembers a hymn
it is a hymn
she never liked
she goes to the gym
goes to work
dinner with a friend
falls asleep
with the tv on
you know better
say grace
don’t even try
you cant take your brother’s place
don’t even try
don’t give me that face anymore
say grace
you know how
all these years
even now
stand up
mother take a bow
cause you still
make her cry
