DAYS

i'm thirteen now and don't know how my friends could be so mean

i come home crying and you hold me tight and grab the keys

and we drive and drive until we found a town far enough away

and we talk and window shop till i forgot all their names



i don't know who i'm gonna talk to now at school

but i know i'm laughing on the car ride home with you

don't know how long it's gonna take to feel ok

but i know i had the best day with you today



i have an excellent father

his strength is making me stronger

god smiles on my little brother

inside and out he's better than i am



i grew up in a pretty house and i had space to run

and i had the best days with you today.
