Waking up and the bed was made
No one looked me in the eye
The more I tried, the more I cried
But it's all for the best

Watch my brother cutting grass outside
Sitting on the porch he told me
It's a long way to go 'fore we can rest
But it's all for the best

You're so beautiful it seems
On a lonely lazy morning
When I see you rocking back and forward
Whispering that it's all for the best

One day the stone will roll away
Soon you'll see
Far away from home but never far away from me
And that's all for the best

Promise me son not to do the things I've done
Walk away from trouble
Promise me son not to do the things I've done
Walk away from trouble

Say you love me, say you love me
Say you love me
Say you love me, say you love me
Say you love me, let's just say you love me
