Cynthia took me hard
By the shoulders in the bathroom
Between dances with a gentleman
She took the money from my hands
Said, “I see Jesus in your eyes”
You’ll never belong here, no matter how hard you try
And they say, “You’ll understand it someday”
Sweetheart, don’t throw your whole life away
You have such a beautiful face
Woke up in a panic
‘Cause your dog ate somebody’s drugs
Off the kitchen table last night
And he hasn’t thrown them up
It’s never warm enough in a hospital
So I hold you while you wait
And I would wish it never happened
If it wasn’t for the way (Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm)
That I saw you that day
And for how you look at me when you’re afraid
You have such a beautiful face
You have such a beautiful face
Two days back in Texas
My mother looks me in the eye
She says that marriage and having babies
Are the reasons for my life
I find it to forgive her now
‘Cause it’s all she’s ever known
So I just kiss her head as she asks me when
I’m finally coming home
And I know I’ll be forgiven someday
Heaven smiles when I call out your name
Still I know there is so much to make
‘Cause you have such a beautiful face
You have such a beautiful face
You have such a beautiful face
