Plaid Shirts & Promises
Too young for marriage
too old to stay with mom & dad.
But she hopped a bus following him West
and gave up all she had.
Skinny dipping in the salty sea
Infatuation in a rusty car
Plaid shirts and promises,
he was a thief that stole her heart
He gave her two babies
but she always felt alone,
between those wood paneling walls
his explosive temper was shown.
Beer bottles and ashtrays.
Tumbleweeds and sand.
Black, blue, and purple
painted by his hand.
So weak for so long,
she would cower in fear
Until she saw her children's faces,
filled with confusion and stained from tears
She left with just the clothes on her back
and two babies clinging to her hand
following the sunrise in the East
going home to mom & dad.
