Thursday
It’s warm for November
It looks like rain
She drives the interstate
Stays in the slow lane
She's got two babies in the back
Got Huggies in the front
There's no place to sit 'cause its full of baby junk
​
She grew up in Dallas
Had a baby real young
Then what’s his name left
When she had another one
She says I got these babies
They got all these names, I hurt inside
And then it starts to rain
​
It’s a Thursday morning
She feels all alone
There’s a hole inside
It’s like a country song
But it feels a lot sadder than what the radio plays
​
So she pulls off at Waco for some Coke, some fries
She idles in the drive through
The babies start to cry
She starts to cry
When she hears daddy gone
The girl in the window
Says mam is something wrong
​
It’s a Thursday morning
She feels all alone
Got a hole inside
It's like a country song
But it feels a lot sadder than what the radio plays
​
It’s a parking lot in Waco
She sees things clear
Got a backseat full of babies
Got a Frosty full of tears
Then the babies quit crying
The rain lets up
She’s up the on ramp
Behind a long haul truck
​
It's warm for November it looks like rain
She drives the interstate
Stays in the slow lane
​
It's warm for November it looks like rain
She drives
​
Monday’s child is fair of face
Tuesday’s child she's full of grace
Wednesday’s child she's full of woe
Thursday’s child she's got far to go
