Chris Staples - Cheap Shades lyrics

Mom went into labor in the middle of the night Had my dad worried but I came out right And his cold hand trembled as he cut the chord And he drove us both home in a beat up ford But nobody asked me Nobody asked me They sprinkle water on my baby head And made some claims about the dead Repeated words the ancients said They drink some wine, they broke some bread But nobody asked me Nobody asked me The morning sun is going to wake me Herb from the garden going to bake me No fast talker going to take me anymore I used to be a sharp young thing Had a bell waiting for a ring She was just a stop along my way An umbrella for my rainy day But I lace my boots I pour a gla** a wine I turn the day over in my mind Was I just a stop along her way Some cheap shades for a sunny day The morning sun is going to wake me Herb from the garden going to bake me No fast talker going to take me anymore
