Only Life I Know - Nell Bryden

She looked her best in life when she was seventeen

Of all the girls at school she was the prettiest that I’d seen

And I guess I’d say she loved me but I always knew she’d go

'Cause she deserves much better than the only life I know

The only life I know, only life I know

She deserves much better than the only life I know

Well you do what you can anywhere you are

He was the only mother too young to go to bars

She wore a Jack Daniels t-shirt and the black faded to grey

And she deserves much better than the only life I know

The only life I know, only life I know

She deserves much better than the only life I know

The only life I know, only life I know

She deserves much better than the only life I know

Now all our friends warned me she would leave me soon

She never really fit in, aw she’d stand out in a room

And it’s the kind of town where your first love is your last

She deserves much better than the only life I know

The only life I know, only life I know

She deserves much better than the only life I know

The only life I know, only life I know

She deserves much better than the only life I know

She left home with that winning smile and she’s never coming back

And I just couldn’t argue, she’d already packed her bags

I hope I never find her in a truck stop on the road

She deserves much better than the only life I know

The only life I know, only life I know

She deserves much better than the only life I know

The only life I know, only life I know

She deserves much better than the only life I know
