She's got a kitchen, stuck full of knifes that she saves
Plays on the driveway, her father I never repaid
Slipped out the back door, holding my plans
Wrote you a letter with these faulty hands
Don't tell her why
Don't cause a scene
Tell her that Jesus, he came back for me
Tell her the sky opened its arms and took me away
Maybe my car burst into flames
Based on the wreckage I don't feel a thing
You tell her anything, just don't tell her why
Lived on a dirt road that led us to nowhere and fast
Worked on the hosiery on weekends to make extricate
Made her a promise that I couldn't keep
Hardly afforded this bus ride to leave
Don't tell her why
Don't cause a scene
Tell her that Jesus, he came back for me
Tell her the sky opened its arms and took me away
Maybe my car burst into flames
Based on the wreckage I don't feel a thing
You tell her anything, just don't tell her why
Would you go away
How could you crack under such great waves
Don't tell her why would I go away
Away
Don't tell her why
Don't cause a scene
Tell her that Jesus, he came back for me
Tell her the sky opened its arms and took me away
Maybe my car burst into flames
Based on the wreckage I don't feel a thing
You tell her anything
You tell her anything
You tell her anything
Just don't tell her why
