Casualties

J. Tillman


I don't have enough
To get us all the way
Why'd you quit your job
Leave without your pay
Wasn't worth that much
Wasn't worth that much
Wasn't worth that much
Broke into your mom's
She was fast asleep
We took the VCR
Kissed her on the cheek
We got out to the yard
You put it on the step
You turned to me and asked
"Who does a thing like this?"
Honey, I don't know
Honey, I don't know anymore
Honey, I don't know anymore
We spent the next few years
Thinkin' 'bout how we
Could make a better life
With fewer casualties
Until your mother passed
Left us all she had
We moved into the house
We bought a TV set
Wasn't worth that much
Wasn't worth that much
Wasn't worth that much
