about

Song about a young girl who is pregnant with a son who's father has left them both. She is forced to move back home, to the country...

lyrics

Young girl travelin' all alone
Back to the place she once called home
Her life has changed things don't seem the same
She cries in bed to the pourin' rain

She bears herself a lonely child
His fathers left him, he's runnin' wild
She pines for loves she's turned away in porch light
Her dream filled past is a ghost in the night

Don't forget pretty girl...

You're not alone
Everyone who's loved you, is still with you
You're not alone
Everything you suffered now has created you
You're not alone
All the things you've dreamed live on inside of you

Don't forget...

She's pealing memories off pink walls
Windows to a forgotten time
A high school sweetheart of a beauty
A prom queen livin' life in the country

Loneliness has gotten her down
Feeling used she rolls into town
The smell of familiar air haunts her
Darkened landscapes and the star strewn sky

Don't forget pretty girl...

You're not alone
Everyone who's loved you, is still with you
You're not alone
Everything you've suffered now has created you
You're not alone
All the things you've dreamed live on inside of you

Don't forget...

Workin' at the feed store to survive
Sacrifice youth to do what's right
Through plytanium wood she sees animals grazing
Just a dim reminder of what coulda' been

Don't forget pretty girl...

You're not alone
Everyone who's loved you is still with you
You're not alone
Everything you suffered now has created you
You're not alone
There's hope left, he grows on inside of you

Don't forget...
Don't forget...
Don't forget...
