John Adams Park

I've a got a toothache and no insurance
Yeah, I've got some unappreciative kids
And I've got a husband who just gets worse each month
And I'm just waiting for something to give

I guess I don't have much to say for myself
I did my best with the options given to me
And for what it's worth
There were times in my life when I felt strong
Or when they seemed weak

Like the time we watched the sun come up sitting on a park bench
It took all night but you brought me up to speed
Wrapped in blankets
Going through our regrets
Exchanging our families' war stories

And I felt humbled and warm
Still lost in the night before
That's when you put it all to rest; you said
"We did our best. It's not our fault if these bastards want more"
And I know we were just kids, but I still remember what you said
I try to hold that sentiment in my heart
But these days I can't imagine waking up and it not being hard
