Album: Car Caught Fire

Dave


he counted up his fears one day and they weren¡¯t worth a dime
he cried a lot of tears for her ¡®cause he wasn¡¯t worth her time
and his life felt like a marathon - man, how long can this last?
he slowed down for a little drink and didn¡¯t see the winner pass
last Saturday morning we missed the warning
the pain got boring - his soul went soaring
she used to be too young to understand and now she¡¯s just too old
can¡¯t shut the door on her regrets - she¡¯ll never be that cold
and i could have been a better friend - i can see where i went wrong
i hid beneath my selfishness like i hide behind this song
last Saturday morning we missed the warning
nothing lasts forever ¡®cept maybe jesus christ
and nothing could be sadder than a child taking his own life
i heard the minister mumble, i heard the falling rain
and i felt my mother¡¯s hand slip into mine
and none of us have ever been the same
