We hit the town when she's ready to pop and I've got a house with doors and locks and she calls me baby lets me call her wife late at night she holds me tight and holds me tight and We're having a baby! She's got my love, she's got my mamma's ring our little baby crawls on the floor and I can't think of a change I wanna see when I finally got my family got my family We're having a baby! Don't let a thing change. Don't let a thing change. We're having a baby!

Mary's Song 03:36
You always talked about love doing us good You would always talk me out of feeling like I should You would always say that love is a house made of wood but it burns just as fast as a fire could We would last forever if I thought that we could We could build a home together but it just end in ruin You say there's an evil day coming down the line And it'll rip us apart in the middle of the dark just before we see the sun rise You want to give it a try but I'd rather take whats mine I'd rather just start a fire than look you in the eye You want to sit and pray, think you can hold it at bay But you can swallow it down, wear it as a crown and just burn it away You think I've got an evil mind hidden deep inside but it's just the reflection of the lies you told me to get by Well isn't it funny how things come together before they die? Yea isn't it funny how it falls apart just before we see the sun rise?

And then at night He'd smoke and drink and she'd hang out with strange men. We talked about her boss. It became clear that he was just a pimp. No I can't let go of her, she's the only one I love No I can't let go of her, she's the mother of my son Well it ain't fair. No no She's my wife She left that night, after that fight and I knew that's the last time I'd see her but I searched her out, went house to house and all I found... Well it ain't fair. No no She ain't comin' home

A white horse came passing through from the fog, moonlight blue I could feel death I shake and tremble I tear at the seam a cold whisper turns into a scream Dear Lord, please I know I must be near my weary bones are tired I strike a match for the fire around the corner, just as I feared I cut my hands, I rip his shirt wide open but he don't move an inch and all these people they just keep on movin' won't even spare a glance, its' like we're made of glass I can feel my anger, spilling out the tips of my fingers Now I know what to do I'll steal and kill to bury you Now I know what it means to see the beast in me I know what to do A life without you I'll be someone new Give me life without you Now that he's gone, he'll be someone new
