Was it Alabama, or maybe in Mississippi
Was it religion?
Or just that sympathy?

That ruined, your god damn family

I'm not a kid, unlike a kite, I can't just go out and fly when I want to
Now I'm waiting around for the sun to go down
And I miss you like hell, you know I do Marybelle

What a waste of time, what a waste of time
You keep your memories, and I'll keep mine

So you didn't fill the empire, you always said you would
Broke so many promises, were they no good now?
When I go out all I ever gets
Me and you and that's the way it is
When I go out

So was it Alabama
Or maybe in Mississippi
Was it religion?
Or just that sympathy

That ruined, my god damn family

What a waste of time [x2]
You keep your memories, and I'll keep mine
What a waste of time [x2]
You keep your memories, and I'll keep mine
What a waste of time [x2]
You keep your memories, and I'll keep mine
What a waste of time [x2]
