Mama's so strong, but her body's tired
But she jumps up to hug me when I come home
And Dad hates to smoke, but he chews tobacco
And he taught me to find God on my own
And Kendal is no stranger to trouble
But her boys are gonna love that crazy soul
Oh, and Britney's still scared from after banter
But if Andrew was here, he'd be proud of her

So maybe love was always near
Maybe love needs the fear
Well maybe love is a broken thing
Maybe love needs nothing

So I chain smoke the pack in Salt Lake City
And your voice sounds the same when I'm alone
I was drunk at the wheel in Norfolk Virginia
Oh and I came to tears thinking of her
Oh and darling I know that I haven't told you
But you mean more to me than you must know
But my head's full of fear and my heart of sorrow
But when I'm patient enough, you've always said go

So maybe love was always near
Maybe love needs the fear
Well maybe love is a broken thing
Maybe love needs nothing

It's carrying you, it's carrying you
Don't let it go, I'm so far away
It's carrying you, it's carrying you
Don't let it go, I'm so far away
