Weeping Willow

(verse 1)

Molly sat next to the weeping willow that died

Molly cried into her feather pillow that night

patting her belly

hoping her grandmother wouldn't be mad

and sad that her mother wouldn't see her grandson

but that man gave her strength

it was love at first sight

at the small town diner

next to that red, Supremes playing jukebox

(chorus)

the willow weeps and slim leaves fill in the space

the girl weeps with her hair stuck to her face

life's about to change so much

but she knows she's tough

her baby will be her number one fan

she's got a plan

and her man

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

Molly's Donny bought the diner where they met

putting all their money into it was a bet

when the local paper caught word

customers came pouring in because they heard

it was the best fried apple pies they ever did eat

she shoved a burger into a rude customer's nose

the restaurant caught fire and the fighters were too late with the hose

it all went up and smoke

if it wasn't for the insurance they'd be broke

(chorus)

the willow weeps and slim leaves fill in the space

the girl weeps with her hair stuck to her face

life's about to change so much

but she knows she's tough

her toddler will be her number one fan

she's got a plan

and her man

(end chorus)

(bridge)

life was fun, but even flowers wilt and bend to the wind

she didn't know she was the reason 

so many people's world could end

(chorus)

the willow weeps and slim leaves fill in the space

the boy weeps with her hair stuck to her face

life's about to change so much

but she made it cuz she's tough

her grandson was her number one fan

she's fulfilled her plan

and loved her man

(end chorus)
