Donnie Iris - Ellwood City lyrics

1983 You turned 17 We rode my Daddy's car To the edge of me And the night was full of stars We made love in the car And we carved our love in a heart on the witness tree And swore we'd raise our kids in Ellwood City You went away to school They all fell for you (like I knew they would) You wrote that we were through Nothing I could do I knew I couldn't give you The life you wanted to live I knew that you would die Before you ever lived If you stayed in Ellwood City I heard you married him Had his kids and moved away But I'm still here and I'm still singing It helps me ease the pain I hope he's been good to you I heard you lost your smile But the witness tree has withstood the test of time Still stands up for you and me In Ellwood City
