lyrics

I bought some flowers for your grave
I laid 'em down there in the snow
they were dead by the time I left
it was hard for me to go

I walked back to the rental car
your favorite song was on the radio
so I sang it to your hometown stars
sittin' there alone

a bottle of water
an empty Old Style can
a cupholder full of change
a pack of smokes in my hand

as I sat there in the rental car
your favorite song on the radio
singin' to your hometown stars
sittin' there alone

the song was building to an end
I pushed the little knob to the left
and blasted some hot, dry engine air
onto the windshield bathed in breath
I pictured your soft, pink body
buried down in that cold, hard earth
I pictured some poor young lady in the city
in a white bed giving birth

as I sat there in the rental car
your favorite song on the radio
singin' to your hometown stars
sittin' there alone

as I sat there in the rental car
your favorite song on the radio
singin' to your hometown stars
sittin' there alone
