It's been seven years since you left your home town for the city
And found out how hard it is in this world to survive
Periodically you think about the girl there that you fell in love with
And the other man who left her stranded there in the drunk tank this past July
Now your mother's in a rut, she can't stop drinking
Your father's living proof that love's a lie
And you drink away
And you drink away everything
15 Years ago you lost your sister
And now the old home town will never be the same
So you moved out west just to try, try to forget her
You swore the salt water out there would cure anything
Whether you're busy being a mother alone, or drinking red wine to the words of a song
I wrote just for you the first time
I passed through and left an impression not far from the truth
I miss you, golden haired angel
I miss you, your golden hair tangled
It's true
