All the years she broke her back
And you can't even stand to watch her pass
A room full of pictures of people who cared
There no longer there
Who was there when you skinned that knee
Tucked you in and kept you clean
Rubbed your legs when they would ache
You won't do the same
The doctor comes once a week
And her sister visits from Deercreek
She stays long enough to be seen
If you know what I mean
All Her life she took'em in
Taking care and raising others' kids
Never knew what it was to like
To feel like this, now that she's alone
What if she would have given up
Moved away when things got tough
Marks on the wall
To see how tall doesn't mean a thing
The doctor comes once a week
And her son he comes over from Pike's Peak
He stays long enough to be seen
If you know what I mean
The doctor comes once a week
And her son he comes over from Pike's Peak
He stays long enough to be seen
If you know what I mean
From a farmhouse built out in 53
To a one-bedroom with no scenery
Is this all she meant to me
The doctor comes once a week
And I use to visit from Pike's Peak
I'd stay long enough to be seen
If you know what I mean
The doctor comes once a week
And I use to visit from Pike's Peak
I'd stay long enough to be seen
If you know what I mean
I want to raise a voice to arms
You can't even die on your own terms
It's a waiting game
To see who's first to get what's left of me
What if she would have given up
Moved away when things got tough
Marks on the wall just to see how tall
Don't mean a thing
