The rich folks are ordering dinner Bottles of liquor top shelf
The waitress is serving everyone around
But forgets to take care of herself
There's a painting that hangs by the window
Infinite mountains of green
She reminisces and misses
When she wasn't tethered to somebody's dream
But if there comes a day
A time she decides she can no longer stay
I will not stand in her way
Walking the dog on a Sunday
When the Christians are busy in church
She tells me she prays that her friends and her family
Get all the good things she wants

All the good things they deserve
There's a red bird chirping in the backyard
She loves all the songs that it sings
She looks like an angel got locked out of heaven
For lending somebody her wings
But if there comes a time
She decides she can no longer stay
I will not stand in her way
I will not stand in her way
Can't keep her away from me
Can't keep her away from me
Can't keep her to myself forever
Cause she's got other places to be
Her love is a gift, I have witnessed her gift
But it doesn't belong to me
No, it doesn't belong to me
No, it doesn't belong to me
No, it doesn't belong to me
