Maya
You picked me up from the halfway house
At my first rehab on the Fourth of July
And we got high
What a surprise trying to hide my eyes
That guy you were with if I remember right
Caught a felony when we left that night
A B and E or the heroin
At the time it didn't mean much to me
I woke up in a parking lot
Some months later and I called you up
You said what's the deal this time
I said crystal meth and I heard you smile
So we sat on the porch
And we smoked cigarettes
You held my hand
I don't know if I cried
But I
Yeah I cried today
Cause Maya all the things I think you wanted for me all along
Everything yeah every one's come true
I've been clean since twenty sixteen
I've made peace with all the little things
And I'm a lot farther from death than I was then
If there's a god up in heaven and he lets me in
If I go first and there's a god and he lets me in
The first thing I'll do is tell him about you
Well I remember you had a son
And I cannot recall his name
And I know you left for California
And I know you could not stay
I drove through Ferguson just yesterday
To try and find your place
I got to the railroad tracks and I closed my eyes
And I almost saw your face
On the last night of that last life
We used each other for a pastime
And I'm sorry I didn't realize then
Your heart was heavy just like mine
Maya all the things I think you wanted for me all along
Everything yeah every one's come true
I've been clean since twenty sixteen
I've made peace with all the little things
And I'm a lot farther from death than I was then
If there's a god up in heaven and he lets me in
If I go first and there's a god and he lets me in
The first thing I'll do is tell him about you
What's your life like now
How'd your son turn out
Are you married
Would you mind if I stop by
I'm still playing that same guitar from that morning
And those same boots are sitting by my bed
Yeah but all the storms are quiet in my head
I hope all the storms are quiet in your
Maya all the things I think you wanted for me all along
Everything yeah every one's come true
I've been clean since twenty sixteen
I've made peace with all the little things
And I'm a lot farther from death than I was then
If there's a god up in heaven and he lets me in
If I go first and there's a god and he lets me in
Yeah if I go first and there's a god and he lets me in
The first thing I'll do
Is tell him about you

The first thing I'll do
