Crying In The Hardware Store

(album: Mother Tongue - 2022)

"Hi honey, just calling, checking to make sure that you're okay
Love you, love you, talk to you later, bye bye"

Got the news at 2:15
God, I hope you left in a limousine
'Cause you never asked for fancy things
And your last ride out should be a dream

I don't know what I'm supposed to do
So I drive around and look for you
You always loved the garden patch
Flowers, earth, and tidy grass

And it's a sharp right to a big box lot
And it's not right but it's all I got
I need a bag of dirt and a garden plot

Now I'm crying in the hardware store
Everybody's staring but I don't care
Have you ever lost someone before
You'd be crying in the hardware store too

I still don't know what I believe
And it makes it hard to find some peace
Are you listening from the other side
Do we even realize when we've died

And it's a sharp right to a big box lot
And it's not right but it's all I got
I need some marigolds and a flower pot

Now I'm crying in the hardware store
Everybody's staring but I don't care
Have you ever lost someone before
You'd be crying in the hardware store too

"You know she is my sweetheart"
"No she's mine"

Now I'm crying in the hardware store
Everybody's staring but I don't care
Have you ever lost someone before
You'd be crying in the hardware store too
