No Rewind Button

Three O clock in the afternoon
Two more hours and his work is through
Its thirteen miles to the other side of town
Pulls up and gets out of the car
Takes a look across the yard
It's a pitiful life watching everyone else
Walks on the bricks that he laid with his own hands
The woman standing at the door used to be his wife
She’s the mother of his son
Now she’s married to another man
The war is over, nobody won
Chorus
Swept inside a raging tide
Of self-absorbed narcotic pride
Set off a wave of destruction
Two plus two equals four
I just can’t make it equal more
No matter how many times I try
Verse #3
Six years ago to date
His son was born and life was great.
He had the job the car the house and the perfect wife
She stayed home and would work
He never knew what her time was worth
He came home late, almost every single night
Pre-Chorus
He felt the draws of affection
With red lips and perfume on her bed
If no one knows, no one gets hurt he said
These are words he would regret
Chorus
Verse #4
And his son walks through the door
With a smile on his face
Daddy did you see the picture that he drew for you
Outro
Ain’t no rewind button for this life. ( 4X)
