Tift Merritt - After Today lyrics

I never thought I'd see eighteen I finally got all eyes on me My daddy made my sentencing Now there's a first for everything Don't ask me what comes after today Don't ask me what comes after today Sweet Emily's eyes are all I am thinking of Don't ask me what comes after today You must be proud your conscience is clean I'm just what you'd expect I'd be There's plenty bad to be said for me But I never been your judge, I never been your judge Don't ask me what comes after today Don't ask me what comes after today Sweet Emily's eyes are all I am thinking of Don't ask me what comes after today What's yours to take for free out round here Is a bullet and a hundred years But dream a dream might not be yours Keep your head down, boy, keep your head down, boys Don't ask me what comes after today Don't ask me what comes after today Sweet Emily's eyes are all I am thinking of Don't ask me what comes after today Nobody means for the gun to go off Nobody wants it this way Nobody sees how the deal went bad But the ones living it every day Up on 145th, you can see the bridge But you can't cross the way I been scared before, I've been scared before No matter what you are, you get used to the chains No matter what you are, you get used to the chains Don't ask me what comes after today Don't ask me what comes after today Sweet Emily's eyes are all I am thinking of Don't ask me what comes after today
