Wonderful Life

[Verse 1] Every Sunday morning I wake up I see you by your dresser doing your make-up Fluttering a Chinese fan in a Knoxville fashion All last night you tossed and turned Your body was hotter than the night that Richmond burned You say you had a bad nightmare about tractor trailers crashing [Chorus] Throw your arms around me Let's keep this quiet Hear our hearts in the distance like cannon fire See our breath in the window, in the turning light Oh it's a wonderful Life [Verse 2] You say you were only seventeen When you fell in love with that dirty Reverend Green I remember you at the baptism as he held his daughter down We could hear Thelma and Louise Making love under the Poplar trees We could hear some screaming, sounded like a slaughterhouse [Chorus] Throw your arms around me Let's keep this quiet Hear our hearts in the distance like cannon fire See our breath in the window, in the siren light Oh It's a wonderful Life [Verse 3] Me and Joey started a fire in the road Just to watch it glow His father didn't like it though, he gave Joey a black eye Me and you we did the same damn thing We fell in love knowing the pain it would bring Now all I do is sing sad songs with red eyes [Chorus] Throw your arms around me Let's keep this quiet Hear our hearts in the distance like cannon fire See our breath in the window, in the turning light Oh it's a wonderful Life
