GREENVILLE

I keep driving down this stretch of road
Not quite on my way home
It’s like my secret with the city
‘Cause sunsets anywhere else
Aren’t quite this pretty

There’s a decent Vietnamese place
Run by a girl named Evelyn
And I keep finding myself in the drive-thru
To stare at her ‘cause she reminds me of you

And there are daisies by the roadside
And I find it hard to believe

There was a time before I knew you
There was a time you weren’t my everything
What am I supposed to do with
The fact that you’re my favorite part of me
And the daisies by the roadside
Only grow toward the sun

Moved away when I was eighteen
When I thought I had everything to prove
I know it broke my mama’s heart
And tore the whole damn world apart
But you should see her garden

And the daisies by the roadside
Make it hard to believe

There was a time before I knew you
There was a time you weren’t my everything
What am I supposed to do with
The fact that you’re my favorite part of me

There was a time before I knew you
There was a time love didn’t cost a thing
What am I supposed to do with
The fact that you’re the best part of me

And the daisies by the roadside
Only grow toward the sun
Yeah the daisies by the roadside
Will be gone when summer’s done
