Charlotte Valley Serenade
Inside a double wide
A double shot goes down
Then another, and another
Then a single shot rings out
The cops showed up and covered up
Her last earthly remains
She was finished here and on her way
Bound for better days
You made the bed, you never said
All the things he'd done
You choked down the pain
You never told no one
No one but Jesus
The lord that you praise
And hope to meet along the road
Bound for better days
Every son of a bitch
Is some mama's precious child
Just a hard working boy, she said
Who never acted wild
Until the madness
A fever of the mind
Turns him to the devil
Who lays waiting all the time
A rose on her shoulder
Leftovers on the floor
She plays the TV loud
Keeps one eye on the door
The path to perdition
Is paved a thousand ways
And he walks it one step at a time
And she's bound for better days
A double shot goes down
Then another, and another
Then a single shot rings out
The cops showed up and covered up
Her last earthly remains
She was finished here and on her way
Bound for better days
You made the bed, you never said
All the things he'd done
You choked down the pain
You never told no one
No one but Jesus
The lord that you praise
And hope to meet along the road
Bound for better days
Every son of a bitch
Is some mama's precious child
Just a hard working boy, she said
Who never acted wild
Until the madness
A fever of the mind
Turns him to the devil
Who lays waiting all the time
A rose on her shoulder
Leftovers on the floor
She plays the TV loud
Keeps one eye on the door
The path to perdition
Is paved a thousand ways
And he walks it one step at a time
And she's bound for better days
