Patty Griffin - Had a Good Reason Lyrics




I guess you're never gonna come back for me Ma With a suitcase of pretty dresses and shoes
One for you and one for me, Ma
And perfume for the ladies looking after me too
There was a chair beside the door
I wished you'd walk through
Wearing your sad eyes of brown
You'd stand beside me and we'd wind the victrola And sing along together
Make the sweetest sounds
I used to think it might be who I am
Maybe who I am wasn't right
And I'd wonder if you missed me the same way Lonely day after lonely night
But I know you must have had a good reason You had a good reason alright
I guess you're never gonna see me a shining
All the lines of people winding around the block The world is mine and it's a microphone in my hand Singing with the band Ma
The toast of the town
Sometimes I think I see you out there a smiling Your pretty sad eyes singing along
And all at once I'm a bird with no ceiling
A voice and feeling like I'll never come down
I used to think it might be who I am
Maybe who I am wasn't right
And I'd wonder if you missed me the same way Lonely day after lonely night
But I know you must have had a good reason You had a good reason alright
