I keep a picture in my wallet

Of a love I used to know

We spent every dollar we had

On every credit card we owed

And maybe that's what did us in

Or the time our house foreclosed

We forgot the vows we said as kids

In our parents’ wedding clothes

In our parents' wedding clothes

It never used to be this way

We'd dance from night ‘till day

We drove past graveyards

And I looked at her and said

We ain’t going out like that, you know?

Our kids won't come from a broken home

And I remember she smiled and took my hand

Back when her and I began

We spent months on different schedules

She worked days and I worked nights

We'd come home to civil wars

That were only stupid fights

So we just kept digging our own graves

So I signed those papers and I hid

‘Cause I can't forget the day the judge said

I wasn't fit to take the kids

I wasn't fit to take the kids

I wasn't fit to take the kids

It never used to be this way

We'd dance from night ‘till day

We drove past graveyards

And I looked at her and said

We ain’t going out like that, you know?

Our kids won’t come from a broken home

And I remember she smiled and took my hand

Back when her and I began

It never used to be this way

We'd dance from night ‘till day

We drove past graveyards

And I looked at her and said

We ain’t going out like that, you know?

Our kids won't come from a broken home

And I remember she smiled and took my hand

Back when her and I began

When her and I began
