"I Got an Email From an Old Girlfriend"

I got an email from an old girlfriend

What was she thinking when she pushed the send

Attached to it was a cute photo

A little girl who was two years old

You used to say that you would marry me

When we rode the highways in our SUV’s

We talked about the world that made no sense

We’d move to Texas and a white picket fence

Three years ago It was just a text

She said the two of us had nothing left

It was a day that I almost cried

She said a baby rabbit died

I got an email from an old girlfriend

What was she thinking when she pushed the send

Attached to it was a cute photo

A little girl who was two years old

You always called me when you lost your luck

You’d say Hey Babe can you lend a buck

And even now I still dream of you

You know I wanted a baby too

Today I drive an old pickup truck

The seat next to me is filled with junk

My bed is covered by a big ol’ tent

It’s surrounded by a white picket fence

I got an email from an old girlfriend

What was she thinking when she pushed the send

Attached to it was a cute photo

A little girl who was two years old

I got an email from an old girlfriend

What was she thinking when she pushed the send
