Me And Emily

Floorboard's filled with baby toys
And empty coke bottles and coffee cups
Driving through the rain with no radio
Trying not to wake her up

Cell phone says "low battery"
God, what if I break down?
I'm just looking for an exit with a lotta lights
A safe little interstate town

Just a cheap hotel
With a single bed
And cable TV
Is good enough for me and Emily

Someday when she's old enough
She's gonna start asking questions about him
Some kid at school brings his Dad for show and tell
And gets her little mind a-wondering
"Where's my Daddy?
Do I have one?
Does he not love me like you do?"

Oh, maybe I'll find someone
To love the both of us
And I'll tell her
When she's old enough to know the truth

Will it break her heart?
Will she understand
That I had to leave?
That's what was best for me and Emily

That house was never clean enough
His dinner never warm enough
Nothing I did was ever good enough to make him happy
So I guess he gave me what he thought I deserved
But it would kill me if he ever raised his hand to her

Big rigs are throwing rain on my windshield
And I feel like they're laughing at me
Finally the storm is lettin' up
And the morning is breaking free

It's a brand new day
It's a second chance
Yesterday is just a memory
For me and Emily

Floorboard is filled with baby toys
And empty coke bottles and coffee cups
Least there's one good thing that he gave me
And she's starting to wake up
