Index Cards

I remember your freckly face
And the bible verses in your car
Taped onto the dashboard
And handwritten on index cards
To make sure you didn't drive too fast
And make sure you didn't stray too far
Now I keep asking myself
How you lost your guiding star

The first time you tried to meet your maker
I would never have guessed
Cause the ones you should anticipate
Are the ones you'd never expect
So I sent you a message
I hope you're doing okay
You said that he is all you need
To keep the devil at bay
With a capital H

Was it the way that people talked
Did they make you feel ashamed
Did they say you'd let the big man down
Did they say you'd lose the game
Did they say you let the big man down
Did they say you'd lose the game

I remember your freckly face
And the bible verses in your car
Taped onto the dashboard and
Handwritten on index cards
To make sure you didn't drive too fast
Make sure you didn't stray too far
Now I keep asking myself
How you lost your guiding star

The next year you shot yourself
And I was six hours across the state
For the first time since I was little
I folded my hands on my pillow and prayed
I said 'if somebody can hear me
Send a sign that it wasn't a waste'
That night my soul was silent
And the next morning it rained
