He said, " I don't love you any more"

This wasn't like before

His words slowing leaving his lips

His hands pulled away from her shoulder

She could still fill his finger tips


Slamming screen doors

Tear drops falling on a wooden floor

He didn't love her anymore

slamming screen doors

Dust trails following his tail lights

Empty beer bottles helping her get through the night


Oh Lord, He said, " I don't love you any more"

She knew this wasn't like before

His words slowing leaving his lips

His hands pulled away from her shoulder

She could still fill his finger tips

Oh slamming screen doors

Empty beer bottles

Getting her through the night

Slamming screen doors
