Choked down a claritin
Thought back to oregon
Where she wore her cardigan
Just like nancy kerrigan
When they broke her legs
Over your frosted flakes

The minds a beautiful thing to waste
And all the ambulances are filled up with admirers
And all the orderlies fight back tears on dim-lit stairs

God bless the state of texas
And the dallas cowboys’ blue
I know darling he’ll protect us
Can i venture an educated guess

Have i had some part of your loneliness?
And we put our prayers in nanny kerrigan

If i could afford it
I would record this
On your mother’s organ
You left back in oregon
And i put your face
Coming through the drapes
Stick you in between the lines and the bass
And all the houses we pass will have american flags
And all the sullen sons inside will hug their dads
God bless the state of texas
And the dallas cowboys’ blue
I know darling he’ll protect us

Can i venture an educated guess
Have i had some part of your loneliness?
And we put our prayers in nanny kerrigan
We put our prayers in nancy’s care
