No-one Said Nothing

I was born with a moon and a muted prayer
My eyes staring up at the sky out there
Some dark voice singing harmony
In the Chapel of The Blessed Goodbye

Ten years later, was out in the fields
Never one for questioning why
I remember the big automobile
My mama starting to cry

I couldn't understand it
She said she hadn't planned it that way

Then someone said somethin'
To someone 'bout somethin'
About how good my life could be

No one said nothin'
No one said nothin' to me

Just indulge me, she said
With your sweet confidence
So I told her all the things that she wanted to hear
And after a drink and a song and a dance
That girl she threw me out on my ear

I couldn't understand it
She said she hadn't planned it that way

Then someone said somethin'
To someone 'bout somethin'
About how bad that woman could be

No one said nothin'
No one said nothin' to me

No one said nothin'
No one said nothin' to me
No one said nothin'
No one said nothin' to me

Now the shit comes down
And I'm running for cover
There ain't nothing more I can hide from you, lover
And the cold sweat comes and it's like 93
Suddenly I know that I'm about to be set free

You're turning me loose
And I don't wanna to go
And I'm tryin' to talk my way out of
The things that you know
And you're holding the floor
As I walk out the door
With nothing but a fine tooth comb

I'll never understand it
I never could have planned it this way

But if someone said somethin'
To someone 'bout somethin'
About how bad a love could be

No one said nothin'
No one said nothin' to me
No one said nothin'
No one said nothin' to me
