She justified it then She may well justify forever She figures it's the only way To keep herself together Something about hotel rooms and horses And losing all her friends And hearing all their voices She rubs it out, she covers it over She's stronger by far, than a war-torn soldier She rubs it out... She makes a little money And sends it to the mother She's living with some guy Who's fighting off the sharks She hopes some day She'll get some kind of letter Well you don't hold much If you haven't got the heart She rubs it out, she covers it over She's harder by far, than a war-torn soldier She rubs it out... Some time ago, I thought that she was trying to move on I thought wrong... She rubs it out, she covers it over She's harder by far, than a war-torn soldier I'd die for her gladly Lord knows I've told her But she rubs it out... I justified it then I may well justify... forever
