Kathleen Edwards - 《Asking For Flowers》
Bobby wished he was
from the past
He said those cars
they used to drive
were the best
I know that I'm a simple man
Even my dreams
I deserve to have
Annabel had plans of her own
She said there's no way
in hell I'm going home
Mamma says she
always knows best
God love her
but her life is a mess
I won't change my mind
So keep your hand
on my thigh tonight
When we get up north
We'll buy us a store
I won't fight
in an oil man's war
Bobby bought a
brand new suit
From his neighbour bought
round toe shoes
Stuffed the money down
in his socks
On his way he bought
a wrist corsage
Annie was scared to death
She'd never once in her life
laid with a man
But she knew it was
his only chance
She bought a white dress
second hand
Keep your hand
You can't say it's
just a matter of pride
I've been living here
since I was a child
And now I'm just
a simple man
But even my dreams
Live upstairs after
the kids are born
And I'm not gonna die
'Cause when we get up north
we'll buy us a store
