Martha used to be Sweet as honey from a honey bee Mm, then one Monday eve Martha met someone by the name of Pete Nothing like she used to hear In the headlights like a deer I could be Mm First one to promise he'd stay Now he's gone far away Once liked her sugar with tea Now she's bitter as can be Martha used to be Martha used to be Martha used to be Martha used to be Martha used to be Martha used to be Martha used to be Martha used to be Born from an addict Papa was a rollin' stone Marthas only vision of a happy home Were the stories she would read And leave her mind left to roam To a future where she'd meet a man named Bo In his pickup truck they would drive and elope Wind between her fingers Blowing away Fears they weren't meant to be She would lay her head on my shoulder Eyes closed I didn't wanna let him go I knew that man like the back of a dirt road Falling slowly Tears would carry her home Realizing her rights from wrongs Pickens so slim But she couldn't bare to be alone Martha used to be Martha used to be Martha used to be Martha used to be Martha used to be Martha used to be Martha used to be Martha used to be What are you afraid of You deserve love What are you afraid of You deserve love What are you afraid of You deserve love What are you afraid of You deserve love
