Show Me State

I used to lay underneath
The gateway to the west
That was where we would meet
Yeah you and I were the best
Although what we had was sweet
Blue skies always turned to gray
I left you like the Carthage queen
And that was a big mistake

Against the wall
I don't know what to say
I had a ball
I drink the pain away

I remember we were
Sittin' playing Yahtzee
Sipping on an iced tea
Underneath the oak trees
Listening to some LPs
But now we're broken
Because that's what happens in a show me state
That's what happens in a show me state
That's what happens in a show me state

Oh I will trust in the Lord
(Trust in the Lord)
To keep his watch over us
(I'm praying to God)
Now that doesn't mean that I'm sure
(Oh I'm not sure)
That this love was not venomous

Against the wall
(Against a wall)
I don't know what to say
(How do I find the words?)
I had a ball
(Having a ball)
I drink the pain away

I remember we would
Sit down in the backyard
Talk about how life's hard
Wonder just who we are
Keep sayin' that we'd go far
But now we're broken
Because that's what happens in a show me state
That's what happens in a show me state
That's what happens in a show me state

The course of true love never did run smooth
But either it was different in blood
Or else misgraffed in respect of years
Or else it stood upon the choice of friends
Or if there were a sympathy in choice
War, death, or sickness did lay siege to it
Making it momentany as a sound
Swift as a shadow, short as any dream
Brief as the lightning in the collied night
That, in a spleen, unfolds both heaven and Earth
And ere a man hath power to say "behold"
The jaws of darkness do devour it up
So quick bright things come to confusion

I remember we were
Sittin' playing Yahtzee
Sipping on an iced tea
Underneath the oak trees
Listening to some LPs
But now we're broken
Because that's what happens in a show me state
I remember we would
Sit down in the backyard
Talk about how life's hard
Wonder just who we are
Keep sayin' that we'd go far
But now we're broken
Because that's what happens in a show me state
That's what happens in a show me state
That's what happens in a show me state

(I found that dreams unwound and)
(This love was a state of mind)
