Picture of My Dress (The Jordan Lake Sessions Volume 3)

[Verse 1]
Here at a truck stop in New Mexico
Just before dawn
Somebody's grandma behind the wheel of a big rig
Pulling in with her headlights on
We smoke a cigarette as the sunrise runs riot
Someone's got to break the quiet

She says, "What are you doing here anyway?"
And I smile and say, "You'd never guess"
She holds it up for me by its skinny white shoulder straps
Well I, I take a picture of my dress
I take a picture of my dress

[Verse 2]
I'm in the bathroom of a Dallas, Tеxas Burger King
And Mr. Steven Tylеr is on the overhead speaker
He doesn't want to miss a thing
Out there at the counter
Blending in with the lunchtime crowd
Trying not to laugh out loud

I eat half my crispy chicken club
I get extra mayonnaise, it's a mess
I take the other half out to the parking lot with me
Pop the trunk and take a picture of my dress
I take a picture of my dress

[Bridge]
It still looks good
I only wore it once
Nine years ago
Nine years and seven months

[Verse 3]
It may be a long while before the highway
Decides to finally set me free
I'm going to have to chase down the remnants
Of something special that you stole from me
It may be hiding in the sunset or in distant corners of the dawn
Or maybe it's gone

But I say some prayers above the engine
I bless everything there is to bless
Run out of gas in the middle of nowhere anyway
Stand by the roadside smiling

[Chorus]
And take a picture of my dress
I take a picture of my dress
I take a picture of my dress
I take a picture of my dress
