Charlie Sexton - Plain Bad Luck And Innocent Mistakes lyrics

There's a small wood-frame house, with a black dog out front And an old broken-down Cadillac in the drive It's got a kicked-in door that leads to a Cluttered room, and a cluttered life I honor her every mother's day, I wanna play for her sad, sad songs You lay down lifeless on the way To tell the latest thing gone wrong, it always goes wrong Your hurtin' eyes show your age, has it been that long? It was never s'posed to be this way You used to be so young You used to be so young Outside your window, outside the pain Used to be the sun was always shinin' Now alls it does is rain She headed down that highway back in 19 and 66 Her parents, Mr and Mrs Jones, never expected anything like this The whole world was expanding, or was it caving in There was nothing they could do or say No way that they could win Freedom was the battle cry, freedom at any cost Freedom from what? was beside the point Just the freedom to get lost Outside your window, outside the pain It used to be the sun was shining, now all it does is rain And it rains down tear-stained memories And the rain falls down on you and me And it rains plain bad luck and innocent mistakes And it rains hard reality The pictures of the chosen ones are changed on all the walls Someone that you claimed to love has got no place at all You find 'em sitting not far away, not far from the door Like an accident that just won't wait The????? And I come to you an angel But believe you're any other Yeah these words left your lips As a wounded, child-like mother Outside your window, outside the pain It used to be the sun was shining, but all it does is rain And it rains down tear-stained memories And the rain falls down on you and me And it rains plain bad luck and innocent mistakes And it rains hard reality Yeah it rains hard reality Yeah it rains hard reality
