YARD SALE

-capo on the 1st fret

           


Cardboard sign says "Yard Sale", Real estate sign says "sold"
                                        
Family picnic table holds all that it can hold
                                                          
On the grass and on the sidewalk, well there must be half the town
                                     
Ain't it funny, how a broken home can bring the prices down


                                                 
Oh they're sortin' through what's left of you and me
                                          
Payin' yard sale prices for each golden memory
                                    
Oh I never thought, I'd ever live to see
                                                          
The way they're sortin' through what's left of you and me


    
You left two summer dresses in the backyard on the line
                                                                   
A lady just brought them to me, she said she thinks they'll fit just
fine
                                                        
Well, there goes the baby's wagon and the mirror from the hall
                                   
I'd better take just one last look before they take it all


                                                 
Oh they're sortin' through what's left of you and me
                                          
Payin' yard sale prices for each golden memory
                                    
Oh I never thought, I'd ever live to see
                                                    
The way they're sortin' through what's left of you and me


                                          
Well, I wonder what you'd say if you could see
                                                    
The way they're sortin' through what's left of you and me
