Cowgirl Mama

FIRST AID KIT - This Old Routine

So you come on home, walk through the door
She’s in the kitchen searching through the drawers
So you stop and watch her and ask what she’s looking for
She says she’s not sure 

And it gets late and you turn off the lights
Her body so close to you in the night
But you dare not touch her and you don’t want to fight
so you just say, “Goodnight”

This old routine will drive you mad
It’s just a mumble never spoken out loud
And sometimes you don’t even know why you loved her
Well you look at her now, and you see why

And your youngest is out fighting a war
But he won’t say what he’s fighting for
If he’s gone because of war for you
In which you rather true

This old routine will drive you mad
It’s just a mumble never spoken out loud
Sometimes you can’t even recall the sound of his laughter
Oh, well did you ever really know the sound? 

This old routine will drive you mad
It’s just a mumble never spoken out loud
Sometimes you don’t even know how you’re still standing
Well she looks at you now, and you see how 

Well you look at the now, and you know how
