Lyrics Me And Emily

floorboards filled with baby toys and empty coke bottles and coffee cups
driving through the rain with no radio trying not to wake her up
cell phone says low battery, god, what if i break down?
i'm just lookin for an exit with a lot of lights, a safe little interstate town.
just a cheap hotel with a single bed and cable tv
is good enough for me and emily
some day when she's old enough
she's gonna start askin questions about him
some kid at school brings his dad for show and tell and it gets her little mind a-wondering.
where's my daddy, do i have one, does he not love me like you do?
maybe i'll find someone to love the both of us, now tell her when she's old enough to know the truth
will it break her heart?
will she understand?
that i had to leave?
that's what was best for me and emily
the house was never clean enough
his dinner never warm enough
nothin i did was ever good enough to make him happy
so i guess he gave me what he thought i deserved.
but it would kill me if he ever raised his hand to her.
big reeds are throwin rain on my windshield and i feel like they're laughin at me.
finally the storm ends
lettin up and the mornin is breakin free
it's a brand new day
it's a second chance
yesterday is just a memory
for me and emily
floorboards filled with baby toys
and empty coke bottles and coffee cups
least there's one good thing that he gave me.
and she's starting to wake up.
