Me And Emily

Rachel Proctor

Floorboard is filled with baby toys, and empty coke bottles, and coffee cups.Driving through the rain with the radio, trying not to wake her up.Cell phone says, "Low Battery", God, what if I break down?I'm just looking for a exit with a lot of lights, a safe little interstate town. Just a cheap hotel, with a single bed, and cable T.V. It's good enough for me and Emily...

Someday when she's old enough, she's gonna start asking questions about him.Some kid at school brings his dad for show and tell, and gets her little mind a wonderin."Where's my daddy?Do I have one?Does he not love me like you do?"Oh, maybe I'll find someone to love the both of us, now. I'll tell her when she's old enough to know the truth.Will it break her heart?Will she understand that I had to leave?That's what was best for me and Emily...

The house was never clean enough.His dinner never warm enough.Nothing I did was ever good enough to make him happy, so I guess he gave me what he thought I deserved.But it would kill me, if he ever raised his hand to her...

Baby's a throwing rain on my windsheild, and I feel like their laughing at me.Finally the storm is lettin up, and the morning is breaking free.It's a brand new day.It's a second chance.Yesterday is just a memory for me and Emily...

Floorboard is filled with baby toys, and empty coke bottles, and coffee cups.Least there's one good thing that he gave me, and she's starting to wake up.
