lyrics

I spoke with Mia when she quit school
She said, "I learned enough inside those waiting rooms"
She spoke with anger from the heart that she outgrew
And back home was penniless with a license to renew

And all her family broke their veneers
Put white-out on a will that sat for 18 years
All her blouses, stained with tears
And she's trying to figure out which of the three she's gonna wear

The man looked so run-down
In that baby blue gown
And Mia sobbing on the ground

She squeezed the memory of that orange Ford
To Phoenix with no seat-belt so she had to hold the door
Hotel room behind them and the highway roared
Rummaging for work till they made it to the shore

She smiled through his stories with a lump inside her throat
And tried to see them all as lessons untold
That night together she was six years old
She held his last breath in her hand till his fingers turned cold

The man looked so run-down
In that baby blue gown
And Mia sobbing on the ground
And Mia sobbing on the ground
