The Obvious Child (Nashville) Songtext

And she said these songs are true
These days are ours
These tеars are free, yeah
The cross is in thе ballpark
The cross is in the ballpark

We had a lot of fun, had a lot of money
We had a little son, we thought we'd call him Sonny
Sonny gets married and moves away
Sonny has a baby and bills to pay
Sonny gets sunnier day by day by day by day

Well, I've been waking up at sunrise
I've been following the light across my room
I watch the night receive the room of my day
Some people say the sky is just the sky
But I say why deny the obvious child?
Why deny the obvious child?
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Sonny sits by his window and thinks to himself
How it's strange that some rooms are like cages
Sonny's yearbook from high school is down from the shelf
And he idly thumbs through the pages
Some have died, some have fled from themselves
Or struggled from here to get there
Sonny wanders beyond his interior walls
Runs his hands through his thinning brown hair

Well, I'm accustomed to a smooth ride
Or maybe I'm a dog that's lost his bite
I don't expect to be treated like a fool no more
I don't expect to sleep through the night
Some people say a lie is just a lie
But I say the cross is in the ballpark
Why deny the obvious child?

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
