lyrics

fell in love with a meat-cooker man
he had long long hair
he had running shoes but he stayed
a ten years sober
gotta get home to you
where’s my montana kind of man.

i am the daughter of a
barbecue cooker
a youth-in-lover a
can’t it be easy a
sleep under trees a
didn’t mean to have a daughter

she has that story about gin
and once a way back time ago
she had short short hair
a pair of overalls she wore
while she was growing my hair
knuckles of a boxer
try to save her mother from a rupture
kind of woman

i am the daughter of a
good hearted mother a
can’t you practical a
love you more than air a
i have been everywhere a
didn’t mean to make you
so like me

you could hear the marriage crack
you could see it bleed
like something made of nothing
could be seen, and seen, and seen
beercans in the walls
even now I’m so sure
if you push them, they will leak

i am the daughter of two people
just like any other
one is still breathing
the other’s half my body a
gravedigger’s body a
miscarriage walking on two feet
a hangman kind of daughter a
lonely little cauterized wound

i am the daughter
of far too soon.
