I Hope I'm Wrong

I hope I'm wrong

I hope you're up there after all

I keep your diamond ring on my necklace

I don't keep much close to my chest

Poured a little bourbon out for you

Got scolded on the porch for wasting booze

Said it was something kids my age do

Dan got up, poured some too

Choked up riding in the backseat

Dad at the wheel staying tough, if you ask me

He's always at his best when the blade's right up against his neck

When the shit goes wrong man comes correct

It gets no better than the way you went

Money in the bank, sons around your bed

I know I should feel lucky, but I'm just feeling spent

Last thing you said was you'd be watching out for me, and we both know that I don't believe that to be true

String of beads to me

Rosary to you

We were young in different circumstances

Had the same set of questions, all different answers

And if we could've traded places, maybe we'd exchange whole lives

Maybe you'd be here in lights and tears, and I'd have been the bride

Raising kids with my hair swept up and my goals pushed to the side

Making do singing lullabies

I hope I'm wrong

I hope you're up there after all

I keep your diamond ring on my necklace

I don't keep much close to my chest

Poured a little bourbon out for you

Got scolded on the porch for wasting booze

Said it was something kids my age do

Dan got up, poured some too

I hope I'm wrong

I hope I'm wrong

I hope I'm wrong
