Mama's so strong, but her body's tired But she jumps up to hug me when I come home And Dad hates to smoke, but he chews tobacco And he taught me to find God on my own And Kendall is no stranger to trouble But her boys are gonna love that crazy soul Oh, and Britney's still scared from after banter But if Andrew was here, he'd be proud of her So, maybe love was always near Maybe love needs the fear Well, maybe love is a broken thing Maybe love needs the pain So I chain smoke the pack in Salt Lake City And your voice sounds the same when I'm alone I was drunk at the wheel in Norfolk, Virginia Oh, and I came to tears thinking of her Oh, and darling, I know that I haven't told you But you mean more to me than you must know But my head's full of fear and my heart of sorrow But when I'm patient enough, your voice echoes So, maybe love was always near Maybe love needs the fear Well, maybe love is a broken thing Maybe love needs the pain It's carrying you up, it's carrying you up Don't let it go, I'm so far away It's carrying you up, it's carrying you up Don't let it go, I'm so far away
