The floorboard is filled with baby toys
And empty Coke bottles and coffee cups
Drivin' through the rain with no radio
Tryin' not to wake her up
Cell phone says low battery
God, what if I break down
I'm just lookin' for an exit with a lotta lights
A safe little Interstate town

Just a cheap hotel
With a single bed
And cable TV
Is good enough
For me and Emily

Someday when she's old enough
She's gonna start asking questions about him
Some kid at school
Brings his Dad for show and tell
And it gets her little mind to wonderin'
Where's my Daddy
Do I have one
Does he not love me like you do
Or maybe I'll find someone
To love the both of us, now
(And I'll) tell her when she's old enough
To know the truth

Will it break her heart
Will she understand
That I had to leave
That's what was best
For me and Emily

The house was never clean enough
His dinner never warm enough
Nothin' I did was ever good enough to make him happy
So I guess he gave me what he thought I deserved
But it would kill me if he ever raised his hand to her

Big rigs are throwin' rain on my windshield
And I feel like they're laughin' at me
Finally the storm is lettin' up
And the mornin' is breakin' free

It's a brand new day
It's a second chance
Yesterday is just a memory
For me and Emily

The floorboard is filled with baby toys
And empty Coke bottles and coffee cups
At least there's one good thing that he gave me
And she's startin' to wake up
