Nell Bryden Only Life I Know
She looked her best in life when she was seventeen
Of all the girls at school she was the prettiest that I'd seen
And I guess I'd say she loved me but I always knew she'd go
'Cause she deserves much better than the only life I know
The only life I know, only life I know
She deserves much better than the only life I know
Well you do what you can anywhere you are
He was the only mother too young to go to bars
She wore a Jack Daniels t-shirt and the black faded to grey
And she deserves much better than the only life I know
The only life I know, only life I know
She deserves much better than the only life I know
The only life I know, only life I know
She deserves much better than the only life I know
Now all our friends warned me she would leave me soon
She never really fit in, aw she'd stand out in a room
And it's the kind of town where your first love is your last
She deserves much better than the only life I know
The only life I know, only life I know
She deserves much better than the only life I know
The only life I know, only life I know
She deserves much better than the only life I know
She left home with that winning smile and she's never coming back
And I just couldn't argue, she'd already packed her bags
I hope I never find her in a truck stop on the road
She deserves much better than the only life I know
The only life I know, only life I know
She deserves much better than the only life I know
The only life I know, only life I know
She deserves much better than the only life I know
