Lyrics

[00:12.73] They got married early, never had no money
[00:18.15] Then when he got laid off they really hit the skids
[00:23.42] He started up his drinking, then they started fighting
[00:29.28] He took it pretty badly, she took both the kids
[00:35.00] She said: "I'm not standing by, to watch you slowly die
[00:40.50] So watch me walking, out the door"
[00:52.30] She said, "Shove it, Jack, I'm walking out your fucking door"
[01:01.90] She went to her brother's, got a little bar work
[01:07.76] He went to the Buttery, stayed about a year
[01:13.24] Then he wrote a letter, said I want to see you
[01:18.84] She thought he sounded better, so she sent him the money for the fare
[01:25.27] He was riding through the cane in the pouring rain
[01:30.90] On McCafferty's to her door
[02:09.69] He came in on a Sunday, every muscle aching
[02:13.40] At the bus station, walking in slow motion
[02:16.02] Walking up the stair case, add a little headache
[02:18.75] Like he'd just been hit
[02:21.85] Did they have a future? Would he know his children?
[02:27.61] Could he make a picture and get them all to fit?
[02:33.42] He was shaking in his seat riding through the streets
[02:39.58] In a silvertop to her
[02:42.95] Shaking in his seat
[02:45.75] Riding through the streets
[02:48.23] In a silvertop taxi cab to her door
