Eric Coomer - Across Four Aprils Lyrics

Mama start the car up
Because it takes a little while to start it up
And I know that this is April
But it's snowing outside
And I'm fed up

'Cause every time he hits you
I can't close my eyes and I am sick of hearing
His stupid alibis

And she keeps running her fingers through her hair
And wondering if her life will ever change

Mama said three weeks ago
That if she had her way
It would end there

"And in a perfect world
I guess you know your daddy'd
Have to get the chair"

But nothing ever changes
It's just the way it's always been
We are all too small
And if we left right now nobody'd let us in

And she keeps running her fingers through her hair
And wondering if her life will ever change

And I drove across four Aprils
Just trying to forget
I drove across four Aprils
And I haven't gotten there yet

I drove across four Aprils
And I, I can't turn back now
I can't turn back the hands of time now

And I keeps running my fingers through my hair
And wondering if my life will ever change

Mama start the car up
Because it takes a little while to start it up
