lyrics

where did her body go?
drag the river, find it up on the shore
soaked in UV rays
where did her looks go?
lost somewhere between 30 and 44
and withered with age

oh we've all got a whole lot of growing up to do
so many men don't
love their wives for the beautiful things they do
just for the fast, little fuck all of them once knew

he knew her when
she played a banjo in an old-time American music band
but he loved her best when
she gave her body to him in a 15-passenger van
outside of a honky tonk
Texas romance

oh we've all got a whole lot of growing up to do
so many men don't
love their wives for the beautiful things they do
just for the fast, little fuck all of them once knew

pack fast, don't look back, he's passed out
and won't be up til the morning light
gas up, hit the overpass, don't stop till you've reached
the 7th town and found a man
who can finally treat you right.
