Written and revised over a decade, this song explores the darkness, longing, and regret of a forgotten loner.

lyrics

Moose Jaw

There was a time when I had a good mind.
The country was fine and my dreams were still kind.
Oh, when did it change?

You'd go to the fields just to stare at the stars.
You'd love all the women who danced at the bars.
And they'd sway their hips there for hours and hours...

Now I'm a bad woman, so the preacher done said.
Every loser I cross is a lover I bed.
And lord I don't ask what goes on in their heads.

Except one girl from Moose Jaw, name of Mary I think.
She spilled all her woes like she spilled all her drinks.
She made me so sad that I had to slink away...
