The years have been turning on
You left me at home
To carve my own stone

I cried, picking up pride
Oh, granite won't lie
We all got along


Well it's true
Build this for you

A house fit for two
Is too small for you


Our son is losing his mind
His drugs that he hides
You can see in his veins

The steps he's needing to take
His back it might break
We both need you here


It's true
I build this for you

A house fit for two
Is too small for you
It's a shame

Leave you to blame
Changing your name
And left him insane


Return like a prodigal sheep
It's cold in the keep

But I have you here
I work hard then watch some TV
You staring at me

What are you doing there
Get up
Lay down your crown

What are you doing now
Say I'm tired as hell
Yeah, I'm broke

Ain't got as much as you
To tell you the truth
Still am your man


It's true
I build this for you

A house fit for two
Is too small for you
It's a shame

Leave you to blame
Changing your name
And left me insane


The words on the tip of your tongue
Like a song I once sung

And you threw it away
That tune
Old melody

Had hope in its ring
Those years never came
