Charlie Mars To Love And Be Loved
So many years seems like yesterday
Brothers growing up growing old and moving away
To a phone call away
And Grandmother's an angel and there's no disguise
And I'm down here trying to hide from her eyes
And run from my lies
Like a drunk midway between bars
So pour me a shot just one for the road
I'm gonna go
I'm gonna go and tell all the kids there's no Santa Claus
That Mom she's pretending and Daddy he's quiet because
He's lost a place to love and be loved
A way to love and be loved
By you
'Cause here things are backwards and love rarely grows
But the children grow up
It's not just Heaven that knows
We know
Salvation forgiveness and the world in between
I forgive you all and you me
But somehow we still feel you know how I feel
You know me
Yeah you know me
So pour me a shot just one for the road
I'm gonna go
I'm gonna go inside your painted faces
Your bars with bars
Your tattood passions and your pierced hearts
And find a place to love and be loved
A way to love and be loved
By you
So pour me a shot just one for the road
I'm gonna go
I'm gonna go and tell all the kids about Santa Claus
That Mom she's for real and Daddy's just quiet because
He's found a place to love and be loved
A way to love and be loved
One of the million ways to love and be loved
By you
