Ellwood City

(专辑： Ellwood City - 2006)

1983
You turned 17
We rode my Daddy's car
To the edge of me
And the night was full of stars
We made love in the car
And we carved our love in a heart on the witness tree
And swore we'd raise our kids in Ellwood City

You went away to school
They all fell for you (like I knew they would)
You wrote that we were through
Nothing I could do
I knew I couldn't give you
The life you wanted to live
I knew that you would die
Before you ever lived
If you stayed in Ellwood City

I heard you married him
Had his kids and moved away
But I'm still here and I'm still singing
It helps me ease the pain
I hope he's been good to you
I heard you lost your smile

But the witness tree has withstood the test of time

Still stands up for you and me
In Ellwood City
