"Cheap Shades" lyrics

Mom went into labor in the middle of the night
Had my dad worried but I came out right
And his cold hand trembled as he cut the cord
And he drove us both home in a beat-up Ford
But nobody asked me
Nobody asked me

They sprinkled water on my baby head
They made some claims about the dead
Repeated words the ancients said
They drank some wine, they broke some bread
But nobody asked me
Nobody asked me

The morning sun is gonna wake me
Herb from the garden gonna bake me
No fast talker gonna take me anymore

I used to be a sharp young thing
Had a belle waiting for a ring
She was just a stop along my way
An umbrella for my rainy day
Well I unlace my boots
I pour a glass of wine
I turn the day over in my mind
Was I just a stop along her way
Some cheap shades for a sunny day?

The morning sun is gonna wake me
Herb from the garden gonna bake me
No fast talker gonna take me anymore
