lyrics

My baby’s buying a candle
At the Dollar General Store
Things are going to be alright
Yeah, my baby’s buying us a candle

Tires split right through
Plies all hanging out
The frontend’s trashed to hell
Mechanic says it ain’t safe
To drive anywhere

That’s ok
My baby’s buying a candle
At the Dollar General Store
Things are going to be alright
Yeah, my baby’s buying us a candle
With our last dollar

We gotta room
at the Quarter Horse
Motel and RV Park
Couldn’t be closer
Waitin’ for our check to come in

My baby’s buying a candle
At the Dollar General Store
Things are going to be alright
Yeah, my baby’s buying us a candle

Girl behind the counter
Talks a million miles a minute
You know she’s got a story
Even if there aren’t enough words
For her to tell it

Are we any different
My baby and me
Staying at the Quarter Horse Motel
Broken car out front
Birds chirping in the trees
As I wait

While my baby buys a candle
At the Dollar General Store
Things are going to be alright
Yeah, my baby’s buying us a candle

I take a few white blossoms
from the trees outside
Put them in a glass
On the nightstand
Waiting for my baby

We’ve come such a long way
Yeah, baby
Everything is going to be alright
