Remy Sher - Barstow Lyrics

I don't love you anymore well that ended their fighting for good
Mom and daddy fought a war bigger than any two countries could
Was it mama's addiction or his cheating that killed them, was it just the turn of a leaf?
Daddies dying, pain pills and pride and taxes and people who leave
Well you try to love like you're meant to
But you die before you learn how
Sweet babies cry but there's no one to tend to 'em
Cause mama's too high and daddy's too low in the ground
So I went out to the west when I turned 17 and I married a girl
I swear I did everything that I could just to give her the world
But she left in a shout one night I guess a man doesn't fall too far from the tree
Cause I cheated in Barstow then died in Nevada, now she's raising the kids without me
Well you try to love like you're meant to
But you die before you learn how
Sweet babies cry but there's no one to tend to 'em
Cause mama's too high and daddy's too low in the ground
