Mary Jo Brown

She washes the dishes
He yells at her to bring him a beer
The games up so loud
You'd swear all the fans were right there
All those nights she spent crying
While he laid there and slept safe and sound
He missed the manifestation and liberation
Of Mary Jo Brown

Yeah, the twins are in college
They're upstate, enrolling in school
Their son and his wife
Are taking a dip in the pool
But tomorrow, like wildfire
The gossip will burn up this town
About the manifestation and liberation
Of Mary Jo Brown

She knows he'll never be
Like the soap opera stars on T.V.
She want's more out of life
Then the girl that he married at seventeen
He's had thirty years to tell her
What somebody's telling her now
He missed the manifestation and liberation
Of Mary Jo Brown

Now, in the morning at breakfast
By his coffee, he'll just find a note
He'll run to her closet
And find all her things are all gone
It's a shame he didn't see it
If he did, she might still be around
He missed the manifestation and liberation
Of Mary Jo Brown
He missed the manifestation and liberation
