Lyrics
Description
(Verse 1)
Born in a little town, 1973 on the sign,
Middle of three kids, learning to wait my time.
Five-year-old with a glove, dirt under my nails,
County fair every summer, ferris wheel and caramel sales.
Momma showed me how to stand, beat the dark once before,
Taught me courage in the kitchen, and how to love some more.
(Pre-Chorus)
Eighth grade with a faded jersey, spikes and steady hands,
We thought the worst behind us, brighter days on the horizon’s span.
Then one ordinary morning, no warning, no goodbye,
Daddy left us at forty-two and turned our blue sky to a sigh.
(Chorus)
Why’d you leave without a last hello?
Left us with questions and that cold, gray sky.
Pieces gone — fairground lights, a softball seam,
A faded volleyball jersey tucked beside a lullaby.
Why’d you go without a last hello?
Left us holding steady through the long, slow night.
(Verse 2)
She beat it once, a comeback story we held like gold,
But it came back like a storm, colder than we'd been told.
’95 the hospital halls whispered the hardest word,
I was twenty-one with an eighteen‑month smile and another heart unheard.
I learned how to wipe small cheeks, to cradle sleep and hope,
To keep the county fair seat warm when life felt hard to hold.
(Pre-Chorus 2)
Anger wrapped around my quiet, questions with no end,
How do you make sense when the map has lost its pen?
There were no warning signs, no chance to say “I love you so,”
Just empty rooms and echoes where the porch light used to glow.
(Chorus)
Why’d you leave without a last hello?
Left us with questions and that cold, gray sky.
Pieces gone — fairground lights, a softball seam,
A faded volleyball jersey tucked beside a lullaby.
Why’d you go without a last hello?
Left us holding steady through the long, slow night.
(Bridge)
But I lace my glove the way she taught me, fingers fold and pull,
I feel her in the seams and stitches, in a laugh that keeps me full.
I’ll take the lessons, take the stories, carry both in every game,
I’ll play for the ones who aren’t here, keep their names in my flame.
(Final Chorus)
No more shouting at the heavens, no more empty why,
I’ll keep the fairground lights lit, stitch your memory into mine.
Pieces missing, but I’ll stand tall, with a glove and a lullaby,
Softball seams and county nights, you’ll live on in our sky.
(Outro)
Born to rise from the grey, I’ll keep walking toward the sun,
A small-town girl with a momma’s heart — the fight will still be won.
I’ll pass the stories, pass the glove, let the ferris wheel spin free,
Fairground lights and softball seams — you’re home in me.
