Wonderful Life

Every Sunday morning I wake up
 I see you by your dresser doing your make-up
 Fluttering a Chinese fan in a Knoxville fashion
 All last night you tossed and turned
 Your body was hotter than the night that Richmond burned
 You say you had a bad nightmare about tractor trailers crashing
 Throw your arms around me
 Let's keep this quiet
 Hear our hearts in the distance
 Like cannon fire
 See our breath in the window
 In the turning light
 Oh, it's a wonderful life
 You say you were only 17
 When you fell in love with that dirty Reverend Green
 I remember you at the baptism as he held his daughter down
 We could hear Thelma and Louise
 Making love under the poplar trees
 We could hear some screaming, sounded like a slaughterhouse
 Throw your arms around me
 Let's keep this quiet
 Hear our hearts in the distance
 Like cannon fire
 See our breath in the window
 In the siren light
 Oh, it's a wonderful life
 ♪
 Me and Joey started a fire in the road
 Just to watch it glow
 His father didn't like it though, he gave Joey a black eye
 Me and you, we did the same damn thing
 We fell in love knowing the pain it would bring
 Now all I do is sing sad songs with red eyes
 Throw your arms around me
 Let's keep this quiet
 Hear our hearts in the distance
 Like cannon fire
 See our breath in the window
 In the turning light
 Oh, it's a wonderful life
 Oh, it's a wonderful life
