Tim Mcgraw

He was thinking back when he was a kid
His folks were divorced
His old man high on something
Came knockin' at the door
His mama wouldn't talk to him
She said boy don'tcha let him in
She was cussin' and pacin' and wastin' her life
On that linoleum floor
He took him back to his old apartment
Turned off the TV
His beautiful broken hero on the couch
Passed out asleep
And he put 'em to bed
With tears in his eyes
He said dad I love you, Goodbye
He headed out into the night
Seventeen years old
Fired up that rusty old pickup
Turned his collar to the cold
And he headed back to mama's place
Ready for his big escape
And he tiptoed up the stairs and left a note
In the cover's fold
It said mom I wish I could wave a wand
And make you smile again
Bring back the man who stole your heart
'Fore the demons got to him
If I stay here any longer
Something sacreds gonna die
