I remember it being cold
I didn’t do anything I was told
You got me down as the sun came up
We tried to blame it on all that
But it was nobody’s fault
When it all came into the light
Made for too many sleepless nights alone
You and my Daddy waiting by the phone for relief
From a doctor with no time to grieve
All of our lives were never the same after Milwaukee
I tried to tell you as the years went on
It wasn’t nothing worth throwing your whole lives away
Some people just want to believe
They got a horseshoe in their blood
That they just can’t see
When I look back through your eyes
I just can’t imagine the surprise it was
Finding out your baby wasn’t what you wanted
Or what you thought you wanted
We all had one big old reckoning in Milwaukee
Please don’t hold any grudge
Nothing in those lives
Was really worth that much
Just a weekend for the family
Traveling on a holiday bonus they thought Daddy might need
I remember I couldn’t speak
And how your eyes hid the emptiness
Well we made it out the end
Well we made it out the end
I won’t talk of it again
You always were the only friends I need
I don’t know
I guess our lives changed so long ago
It all started one rainy day in Milwaukee
In Milwaukee
In Milwaukee
