Only Life I Know
She looked her best in life when she was seventeen.
Of all the girls at school she was the prettiest that I'd seen.
And I guess I'd say she loved me but I always knew she'd go.
'Cause she deserves much better than the only life I know.
The only life I know, only life I know.
She deserves much better than the only life I know.
Well you do what you can anywhere you are,
He was the only mother too young to go to bars.
She wore a Jack Daniels t-shirt and the black faded to grey.
And she deserves much better than the only life I know.
The only life I know, only life I know.
She deserves much better than the only life I know.
The only life I know, only life I know.
She deserves much better than the only life I know.
Now all our friends warned me she would leave me soon.
She never really fit in, aw she'd stand out in a room.
And it's the kind of town where your first love is your last.
She deserves much better than the only life I know.
The only life I know, only life I know.
She deserves much better than the only life I know.
The only life I know, only life I know.
She deserves much better than the only life I know.
She left home with that winning smile and she's never coming back.
And I just couldn't argue, she'd already packed her bags.
I hope I never find her in a truck stop on the road,
She deserves much better than the only life I know.
The only life I know, only life I know.
She deserves much better than the only life I know.
The only life I know, only life I know.
She deserves much better than the only life I know.
