lyrics

I used to be a little girl
in the back seat of the car, wearing hand me down tee shirts
Stan Rogers on the tape deck, and I knew all the words
Every day we fought the good fight
and every day was glory
and sure enough the sun would come and rise up every morning
and everything I ever knew, I learned from bed time stories
I used to miss you all the time
now mostly I just miss when it was all so cut and dry
Ly-di-ly
So don’t be afraid to ask me to stay
that’s OK, go ahead and light another cigarette
it might be ending, but it ain’t over yet
I never felt so fearless as I did today
when the rain clouds started lifting and the Southern sky was pink and gray
I stood outside and shivered, until they took it all away
'Cause When you go all that you’ll leave me
is your laugh
and a postcard from somewhere across the tracks
if you underground, I know you ain't coming back
So don’t be afraid to ask me to stay
that’s OK go on and light another cigarette
it might be over
but let’s not go home yet
