The Sad Ballad Of Muley Graves

Keys unlock the door
Memories here, more
Cardboard boxes filled
Wonder why she kept them for?
Old posters on the wall
Nights I don’t recall
Hell I don’t
But all those years meant something
Not much saved
For here now, today
But I don’t buy lucky charms
Wonder why empty arms aren’t full
And I know
You just can’t hold it all

Kitchen table, pale sun
Used to think this was so fun, blessed
But old disappointment hard to let go
And not a lot to do on the weekends
Church bells ring, miserable cold
Can’t lie here, never could, won’t
So you find a new life, try not to complain
Life happens and you drift away
You just can’t hold it all

Railroad cars crash outside all night
Her heart beats here, still, quiet
That don’t change
And everything it brings
Summer, winter, autumn and always into spring
But it’s some part of lucky, I can still sing
The Wildwood Flower and know what it means
Long days, rocky road
Full speed but sure you know
Sure you know

Tuning: B E B E B E
