Don't catch your death of cold out there walkin' in the rain
Don't catch your death of cold out there walkin' in the rain
Five years from now, we both know you won't feel quite the same

Don't think you're gonna drownd it in some bar room all alone
Don't think you're gonna drownd it in some dirty bar all alone
We both know that sorrow swims and that shit hole ain't your home

They told you it'll get harder when you're grown
You never felt the breeze on your face until it was already blowin'
Yeah they told you it'll get harder when you're grown
You're a queen with no country and that stool there, it's just not a throne

Write that letter to your father, just leave it there by his grave
Write that letter to your father and leave it there by his grave
You once told me you don't feel his spirit there anyway

Don't crawl away slowly; get up quick, walk away
Don't crawl away slowly; get up quick, walk away
When the wreckin' ball visits this town, don't get caught on display

And I told you there's more to lose here than to gain
And your lack of ambition and heartache suggests that you feel the same
I told you there's more to lose here than to gain
I guess we'll be haunted by the shadowy ghosts of what it is we became

Sundown silver moon, I'll still love you by and by
Sundown silver moon, I'll still love you by and by
If not for the length of your hair, then for the sinister look in your eye

They told you it'll get harder when you're grown
You never felt the breeze on your face until it was already blowin'
Yeah they told you it'll get harder when you're grown
You're a queen with no country and that stool there, it's just ain't a throne
