lyrics

This woman just sits on the porch
A house her daddy didn’t build
She's been missing her mother today, as she does when she notices the birds
And the tattoo on her leg - her boys name - she says, "fuck man, losing him still hurts"
She says, "I'll burn this cigarette until the very day I die"

She's got her routines down,
There’s no stopping this freight train now.

She sure did have a favorite book
Doesn’t matter if she did the best she could
Her baby comes home but she stays in the other room
When you love in doubt sometimes the distance gets you through
But not a goddamn day goes by she don't do what he tells her to do

She's got her routines down,
There ain't no stopping that freight train now

Are we better off surprised?
I don't know
Are we better off alive?
She can't say for sure
If she is better off today than when her sweetheart died?
My, oh my

If she's in the mood, she'll talk about
skipping school, fifteen and drunk, out on the catwalk
When the highway is out the window of your childhood bedroom you can never leave too soon
I guess everyone needs to decide what it is they're meant to do
She says, "I regret almost everything, but I'm so glad that I had you."

She's got her routines down,
Ain't no one gonna stop that freight train now
