And as it pours down, her heart sinks into the overflow
Down, down, down
Into the depths of the ocean
Or at least the edge of the street
Well her love's in Colorado
But he's not her love at all
Only within her heart now
The real world would not allow it
So now that they're over, she takes it like a trooper
Going into the military after all
I imagine what it's like
On the way home from Commerce, Texas
A battlefield in front of you
A former love behind, lost in the mountains
But she puts on a smile I can almost see
It's like a bullet to the gut for me
But I'm not the one who'll face such things
Killed by long-distance
At such a young age
I wonder if she ever thinks,
Where am I even going?
I see my sister next to me on a stage
There's a guitar around her neck
And my microphone is cold
She leans into hers
"This one's for Quanah"
Can I be close to you?
