Cheap Shades - Chris Staples

Mom went into labor in the middle of the night

Had my dad worried but I came out right

And his cold hand trembled as he cut the chord

And he drove us both home in a beat up ford

But nobody asked me

Nobody asked me

They sprinkle water on my baby head

And made some claims about the dead

Repeated words the ancients said

They drink some wine, they broke some bread

But nobody asked me

Nobody asked me

The morning sun is going to wake me

Herb from the garden going to bake me

No fast talker going to take me anymore

I used to be a sharp young thing

Had a bell waiting for a ring

She was just a stop along my way

An umbrella for my rainy day

But I lace my boots

I pour a glass a wine

I turn the day over in my mind

Was I just a stop along her way

Some cheap shades for a sunny day

The morning sun is going to wake me

Herb from the garden going to bake me

No fast talker going to take me anymore
