Six years come september

I got a picture of you holding a picture of her taped to the dash of my car
I see it every time I check my speed or run up to the grocery store
The two of you were the only thing in life worth fighting for
Since you been gone, I ain't been much for fightin' anymore

These days, things don't come easy
It's all I can do most just to keep it between the lines
If I'd've done a better job of listenin'
Maybe you would still be mine

I ain't had a drop to drink since the day that you left me
Six years come September, I've been cursed with this clarity
I had to stare in the mirror yellin' at a stranger looking back at me
And the ghost of the man I could've been still haunts all my dreams

These days, things don't come easy
It's all I can do most just to keep it between the lines
If I'd've done a better job of listenin'
Maybe you would still be mine
