Pink Shoes

Pink shoes by the front door Cartoons on But he ain't there Momma's stare is through me Like I'm air Like I'm air Police lights on the curtains Blood still dripping from her shaking hand They kept saying he was "hurting" I just wanted Daddy back again [Chorus] Little girl lost in a big Big house Every hallway felt like stone Momma's bags by the screen door She said "Baby I can't stay I gotta go" I watched her tail lights fade to nothing Just that empty gravel road Till my granma and my granpa Took me home Took me home [Verse 2] Two chairs on a front porch Rusty swing and a squeaky chain Granma's hug like a blanket So tight it pressed out all the pain Granpa smelled like diesel Held my hand like it might break Said "You ain't gotta be brave here Cry if you need to That's okay" [Chorus] Little girl lost in a big Big world Heart bruised down to the bone Thought I didn't belong to anybody Thought I was meant to be alone Then a gravel drive and a mailbox With my brand‑new last name wrote 'Cause my granma and my granpa Took me home Took me home [Instrumental break] [Bridge] There's a picture on their mantel Of a man I still call Dad (oh) Granpa tips his old cap to it Says "We got her now " and I laugh I laugh And on nights the dark feels heavy Granma hums that same old hymn Says "Baby Love don't leave you It just finds another way back in" [Chorus] Little girl found in a small white house Where the porch light's always on Two old hearts in the kitchen Saving every shattered part I showed I still miss him and I still ache But I don't face that ache alone 'Cause my granma and my granpa Took me home Took me home Yeah My granma and my granpa Took me home Took me home
