a simple sunday morning
out on the porch
pouring a glass of lemonade
and deep down you can hear me sing
this is a day like no other
as you slowly get undressed
these thoughts running through your head
a little queasy and a bit nervous
to pack it all away and up and go
praying for a better life
those tears won't roll down
anymore

cause you're walking out the door without a care in the world
leaving the mirror with your hair in curls
pack those smiles
and hope for monday
for monday

goodbye she cries
in the sun
watching her reflection
from a rear view mirror
she's going away

rise up
take charge
put the keys in the ignition
there's no turning back now
you kiss goodbye
and start to cry
those last few moments are the worst
you hear the words i said to you
over and over again
you say
"mom and dad i love you so
now it's time for me to go"
to go...

those words i said to you
they ring in your head
they were "i love you so
you're in my heart
dear lets never part."
that's why you're running away.
