When I was born I was one solid color I did not know it was the same sad color of my stare When she gets off work tonight When she gets those bruises don't you know its Cause I made her my wife I earned it earned it earned it earned it I earned it earned it earned it earned it When I was young I was that same solid pale blue I did not know my head was so full it started spittin out straw When she gets off work tonight When shes gets those bruises don't you know its Cause I made her my wife I earned it earned it earned it earned it I earned it earned it earned it earned it Where'd you get that hold on me It's like a firework sittin in my family tree Where'd you get that hold on me It's like a firework sittin in my family tree When I grew up I was a shining white pillar of salt I did not know it was the same white falling to the earth When she gets off work tonight When she gets those bruises don't you know its Cause I made her my wife I earned it earned it earned it earned it I earned it earned it earned it earned it I earned it earned it earned it earned it Where'd you get that hold on me It's like a firework sittin in my family tree Where'd you get that hold on me It's like a firework sittin in my family tree
