Bryan Elijah Smith - Left Behind Lyrics

Look at her standing there up against her father's grave
He never saw coming near west of here on the interstate
Old granny Jean was doing fine with a heavy heart and a glass of wine
I forget she's still doin' time
Aren't we all when we're left behind

She hit it hard on Tuesday night, stumbling drunk out of the bar
She forgot to turn on the lights headed home in Eddie's car
Eddie never wanted much. Hell he never had a plan
Built a life without any luck. Built a home with his two hands
Old granny Jean was doing fine with a heavy heart and a glass of wine
I forget she's still doin' time
Aren't we all when we're left behind

He knew Jean drowned in her heart hung by a nail on the wall
By a pic of dad before the war. He knew one day it would fall
She hit Eddie on Christmas eve. Shit hit the fan as he hit the door
Family blood in gasoline; he always knew she needed more
He always knew she needed more
Old granny Jean ain't doin' fine
She hit her son on the county line
I forget she's still doin' time
Aren't we all when we're left behind
