Daffodils

Well, the make-up's worth the break-up, the way that Linda lays it on me

Like some ponies on a carousel, 'round and 'round and right

All them fightin' words you don't mean

Hell, I went too far, and the scars are deep as time

This fifty-mile ride from work's about to bleed the pockets dry

'Cause you can't get far on paper mill pay

Twenty bones and a Chevrolet won't guarantee it, but you gotta try

Don't you know it's do or die?

She's been sittin' on the porch for too long

Playin' "Does he want me or want me not?"

Darlin', quit pickin' petals off of daffodils

Girl, I love you, and I always will

When she told me she was pregnant, well, my first thought was denial

Shoulda taken more precaution, but hadn't seen her in a while

You can't mix the oil and water when it comes down to commitment

Ain't a good life for a daughter, ain't a life without you in it

And you can't get far on a paper mill pay

Twenty bones and a Chevrolet won't guarantee it, but you gotta try

Don't you know it's do or die?

She's been sittin' on the porch for too long

Playin' "Does he want me or want me not?"

Darlin', quit pickin' petals off of daffodils

Girl, I love you, and I always will

And always will

Yeah, and always will

And you can't get far on paper mill pay

Ain't concerned about it anyway

All I wanna do is make you right

As I'm pullin' in your gravel drive
