The Stairs lyrics
Song information
Artist: Reba Mcentire Album: Last One To Know
Lyrics
She looks at the clock, it's a quarter past nine She hears his car as it pulls in the drive Dinners still waiting from hours before She knows he's been drinking when he walks through the door In anger he strikes out And she starts to cry How much more can she take How much more can she lie
Chorus: And she fell down the stairs again But it hasn't happened since she don't know when Was it in spring when she packed up the kids Or maybe in winter with his job on the skids Oh, but just like before She'll have to pretend that She fell down the stairs again
A short time ago, she started a job Serving chicken fried steak and corn on the cob She started out shy, but she ended up sure That a ticket to any where could be the cure But he couldn't handle her change for the better She tried to leave him, but he wouldn't let her He says he's sorry, he'd never mean it He swears it won't happend again But she's so confused, she wants to believe it She just wants this nightmare to end
Chorus
Oh but just like before She'll have to pretend That she fell down the stairs again
