i get the picture

the moving van is waitin' for the rain to stop

your agent put a sign up in the yard

i wondered was there anything that you'd forgot

i guess that goodbye's got to be this hard. one last look around the rooms that we both shared

i knew i couldn't stay here by myself

i saw a box and wondered why you'd left it out

right there on the bedroom closet shelf. faded yellow photos of a boy and girl

smiling in the blazing texas sun

it must have been the year before your daddy died

he tried to warn me then this day would come. i get the picture though the love has gone away

i get the picture though your memory will fade i get the picture. wasn't that the guy you told me you forgot

oh what's his name who never made you laugh

but i never made you smile the way you're smilin' here

by his side in this faded photograph. last night when i met you at your lawyer's house

i wondered bout the guy who dropped you off

guess i prob'ly never place this smiling face

if you hadn't left behind this box. i get the picture though the love has gone away

i get the picture though your memory will fade i get the picture. i get the picture.
